The circuit has two oppositely connect ideal diodes in parallel. What is the current following in the circuit?
  1. $1.33 \mathrm{~A}$
  2. $1.71 \mathrm{~A}$
  3. $2.00 \mathrm{~A}$
  4. $2.31 \mathrm{~A}$

Solution

$D_1$ is reverse biased therefore it will act like an open circuit. $ \mathrm{i}=\frac{12}{6}=2.00 \mathrm{~A} $
