Question
The given circuit has two ideal diodes connected as shown in the figure below. Calculate the current flowing through the resistance R1.
Advertisements
Solution
D1 will act as Reverse bias so current will not pass through it
Total Resistance = 4Ω
V = 10 V
Current flow through R1I = `"V"/"R"`
= `10/4`
= 2.5 A
