From the given circuit diagram, what is the value of diode current? Use an appropriate diode model.(a) 8 mA(b) 0 mA(c) 7.3 mA(d) 7 mAThe question was posed to me during an online interview.I'm obligated to ask this question of Diode Approximations and Series Connection topic in section Diode Circuit of Analog Circuits

Answer» RIGHT answer is (d) 7 mA

For explanation: The DIODES have a drop of 0.3V for Ge and 0.7V for SILICON in forward bias. We can USE the constant voltage model, and hence in forward bias, the current FLOWING is

ID = (V-VD1-VD2)/R = 7 mA.
