In the circuit, considering the diode 1,4 to be a Germanium diode and the diodes 2,3 to be silicon, which of the following statements are true?(a) ID1 = ID2(b) ID1 = ID3(c) ID1 = ID4(d) ID1 > ID4The question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.My question is taken from Parallel and Series Configuration in section Diode Circuit of Analog Circuits

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (c) ID1 = ID4

Explanation: In the given circuit, the SILICON diodes are in off-state as the voltage ACROSS them is 0.3 V. HENCE, they act as open circuit and the diodes 1 and 4 are in series and hence the CURRENT through diodes 1 and 4 is same.
