उत्तर
In the circuit shown in figure, if the diode forward voltage drop is 0.3 V, the voltage difference between A and B is 2.3 V.
Explanation:
Let us consider figure 2.3 V given above in the problem, suppose the potential difference between A and B is VAB.
Then, `V_(AB) - 0.3 = [(r_1 + r_2)10^3] xx (0.2 xx 10^-3)` .....[∵ VAB = ir]
= `[(5 + 5)10^3] xx (0.2 xx 10^-3)]`
= `10 xx 10^3 xx 0.2 xx 10^-3`
= 2
⇒ VAB = 2 + 0.3 = 2.3 V

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow.
| A semiconductor diode is basically a pn junction with metallic contacts provided at the ends for the application of an external voltage. It is a two-terminal device. When an external voltage is applied across a semiconductor diode such that the p-side is connected to the positive terminal of the battery and the n-side to the negative terminal, it is said to be forward-biased. When an external voltage is applied across the diode such that the n-side is positive and the p-side is negative, it is said to be reverse-biased. An ideal diode is one whose resistance in forward biasing is zero and the resistance is infinite in reverse biasing. When the diode is forward biased, it is found that beyond forward voltage called knee voltage, the conductivity is very high. When the biasing voltage is more than the knee voltage the potential barrier is overcome and the current increases rapidly with an increase in forward voltage. When the diode is reverse biased, the reverse bias voltage produces a very small current of about a few microamperes which almost remains constant with bias. This small current is a reverse saturation current. |
