Two junction diodes, one of germanium (Ge) and other of silicon (Si) are connected as shown in fig to a battery of 12V and a load resistance 10kOmega. The germanium diode conducts at 0.3V and silicon diode at 0.7V. When current flows in the circuit, the potential of terminal Y will be |

Answer» Solution : The GE diode conducts for a p.d of 0.3V, therefore the current PASSES through it and the SI diode do not conduct. HENCE the potential of terminal `Y = 12-0.3 = 11.7V` |
