उत्तर
In Figure, assuming the diodes to be ideal D2 is forward biased and D1 is reverse biased and hence no current flows from B to A and vice versa.
Explanation:
A symbol of the diode is represented like this: In this problem first, we have to check the polarity of the diodes. –10 V is the lower voltage in the circuit. Now p-side of p-n Anode Cathode junction D1 is connected to lower voltage and n-side of D1 to the higher voltage. Thus D1 is reverse biased.
Now, let us analyse 2nd diode of the given circuit. The p-side of p-n junction D2 is at higher potential and n-side of D2 is at lower potential. Therefore D2 is forward biased.
Hence, the current flows through the junction from B to A.

LED is a heavily doped P-N junction which under forward bias emits spontaneous radiation. When it is forward-biased, due to recombination of holes and electrons at the junction, energy is released in the form of photons. In the case of Si and Ge diode, the energy released in recombination lies in the infrared region. LEDs that can emit red, yellow, orange, green and blue light are commercially available. The semiconductor used for fabrication of visible LEDs must at least have a band gap of 1.8 eV. The compound semiconductor Gallium Arsenide – Phosphide is used for making LEDs of different colours.
