In the given circuit input voltage Vin is 3V and V2 is 1V. The resistance R1 is 1.5K. Cut-in voltage of diode is 0.5V. Forward bias resistance is 10Ω. The current I will be __________(a) 2.03mA(b) 0.23mA(c) 1.58mA(d) 1.33mAThe question was posed to me in a national level competition.This intriguing question comes from Piecewise Linear Model of Diode in division Diode Circuit of Analog Circuits

Answer»

Right choice is (d) 1.33mA

Easy explanation: Since both VOLTAGE sources are reverse BIAS to the DIODE, diode in the circuit disappears and EQUIVALENT circuit becomes as follows

So current I = V1-V2/R

= 3-1/1.5k = 1.33mA.
