Question
The diode in the circuit given below has but is ideal otherwise. The current (in mA) in the resistor is ______.
Correct answer
0.59 to 0.61
Solution
Assume first that the diode is OFF. The source then feeds two parallel paths: and .Current division:Check the diode: the left node is at and the right node at (the bridge is balanced, ). The voltage across the diode branch is , so the diode is indeed OFF and the assumption is consistent.Answer: (accepted range 0.59 to 0.61)
