The diode used in the circuit shown in figure has a constant voltage drop at 0.5 V at all currents and a maximum power rating of 100 mW. What should be the value of the resistance R, connected in series with diode for obtaining maximum current ?

Answer»

`5OMEGA`
`5.6Omega`
`6.7Omega`
`20Omega`

Solution :V = E - IR = 1.5 - 0.5 = 1 VOLT.
Now `P=VI:.I=P/V=(100xx10^(-3))/1=1/10A`.
But `IR = 0.5 :. R=(0.5)/I=(0.5)/(1//10)=5Omega`
