In figure, assuming the diodes to be ideal

A

(a) ` D_1 ` is forward biased and ` D_2` is reverse biased and hence current flows from A to B.

B

` D_2 ` is forward biased and `D_1` is reverse biased and hence no current flows from B to A and vice - versa.

C

`D_1` and `D_2` are both forward biased and hence current flows from A to B.

D

`D_1` and `D_2` are both reverse biased and hence no current flows from A to B and vice versa.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
For diode ` D_1 `
` V_p - V_n = - 10 -10 = -10 V `
So, ` D_1` is in reverse bias.
For diode `D_2` ,
` V_p - V_n = 0 - (-10) = 10 V`
` So, ` D_2 ` is in forward bias.
