A 5 V battery is connected across the points X and Y. Assume D1 and D2 to be normal silicon diodes. Find the current supplied by the battery if the +ve terminal of the battery is connected to point X.

  1. ~0.86 A
  2. ~0.5 A
  3. ~1.5 A
  4. ~0.43 A

Solution

Here only D1 will work and we know for silicon diode, potential drop on D1 will be 0.7 V

I=5-0.710=0.43 A
