उत्तर
We know that under forward bias, an ideal diode acts as a short circuit; and under reverse bias, an ideal diode acts as an open circuit.
(a) Since both the diodes are forward biassed, they can be replaced by short circuits.
Net resistance = 2 Ω
\[i = \frac{2 V}{2 \Omega} = 1 A\]
(b) One diode is forward biassed and the other is reverse biassed; thus, the resistance of one becomes ∞. The circuit becomes open at the position of the second diode, so no current flows through this arm.
\[\therefore i = \frac{2}{2 + \infty} = 0 A\]
(c) Both of them are forward biassed. Thus, the resistance is zero.
We can replace both the resistors by short circuits.
Net resistance = 2 Ω
\[\therefore i = \frac{2}{2} = 1 A\]
(d) One of them is forward biassed and the other is reverse biassed.
Thus, the current passes through the forward-biassed diode and the other acts as open circuit.
\[\therefore i = \frac{2}{2} = 1 A\]
