Considering the circuit and data given in the diagram, calculate the currents flowing in the diodes D_(1) and D_(2). Forward resis- tance of D_(1) and D_(2) is 20Omega

Answer»

Solution :Since the positive terminal of battery is connected to P-type of both DIODES `D_(1) and D_(2)` they are FORWARD biased. These diodes are replaced by with their forward RESISTANCES as shown in FIG.

The resistance of `20Omega` in PARALLEL
`(1)/(R)=(1)/(20)+(1)/(20)=(2)/(20)`
Therefore, total current I in the circuit
`I=(1)/(100+10)=(1)/(110)" amp and "`
`I_(1)=I_(2)=(1)/(2)xx(1)/(110)=(1)/(220)" amp"`
