In the given circuit, what is the value of current flowing through the forward biased diode?(a) 10 mA(b) 9.3 mA(c) 8.6 mA(d) 0 mAI got this question during an interview.This interesting question is from Parallel and Series Configuration in section Diode Circuit of Analog Circuits

Answer»

Right choice is (c) 8.6 mA

Easiest EXPLANATION: Here, CURRENT flowing through R2 = (10-0.7)/1k = 9.3 mA. Also the current through the PARALLEL resistor=0.7 mA. HENCE the current through the forward biased diode = (9.3-0.7) = 8.6 mA.
