An ideal p-n junction diode can withstand currents up to 10mA under forward bias. The diode has a potential difference of 0.5V across it which is assumed to be independent of current .What is the maximum voltage of the battery used to forward bias the diode when resistance of 200 `Omega` is connected in series with it.

A diode used in the circuit shown in fig. below, has a constant voltage drop of 0.5V at all currents and a maximum power rating of 100 mW. What should be the value of the resistance R connected in series with diode for obtaining maximum current

Figure shows a potentiometer with a cell of 2.0 V and internal resistance 0.40 Omega maintain a potential drop across the resistor wire AB. A standard cell which maintains a constant emf of 1.02 V (for very moderate currents upto a few mA) gives a balances point at 63.3 cm length of the wire. To ensure very low currents drawn from the standard cell, a very high resistance of 600 Omega is put is series with it, which is shortedd close to the balance point. The standard cell is then replaced by a cell of unknown emf epsilon and the balance point found similarly, turns out to be at 82.3 cm length of the wire. What is the value epsilon ?
