Equivalent Resistance of a System of Resistor

Figure shows ...

Question

Figure shows a diode connected to an external resistance and a battery. Assuming the barrier potential developed in the diode to be 0.5 V, find the value of current in the circuit in mA.

Open in App

Solution

Apply Kirchhoff's voltage law in the circuit,

$4.5 = 0.5 + 100 I$

$100 I = 4$

$I = \frac{4}{100} = 0.4 m A$
