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 10 k Omega . The germanium diode conducts at 0.3V and silicon diode at 0.7V. When current flows in the circuit, the potential of terminal Y willbe(##AKS_NEO_CAO_PHY_XII_V02_C_C06_SLV_013_Q01.png" width="80%"> |
| 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 | |
