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»

`1.5 Omega`
`5 Omega`
`6.67 Omega`
`200 Omega`

SOLUTION :The current through circuit
`i=P/V=(100xx10^(-3))/(0.5)=0.2A`
`:.` VOLTAGE DROP across RESISTANCE ` = 1.5 - 0.5 = 1 V `
`implies R= 1 / (0.2)=5Omega`
