The non-zero potential difference across diode $\mathrm{D}_{1}$ and that across diode $\mathrm{D}_{2}$ are
equal in the circuit shown in the figure (both the diodes are identical in
characteristics)
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Solution
In diagram (a) anode is at a lower potential compared to cathode. Hence it is reverse biased. In diagram (b) anode is at a higher potential compared to cathode. Hence it is forward biased.
