Question:
If two diodes \( D_1 \) and \( D_2 \) are connected as shown in the figure, then
If two diodes \( D_1 \) and \( D_2 \) are connected as shown in the figure, then
Show Hint
Compare the voltages on both sides of the diode: Anode more positive than cathode implies forward bias, otherwise reverse bias.
Updated On: Jun 3, 2025
- both the diodes \( D_1 \) and \( D_2 \) are forward biased.
- both the diodes \( D_1 \) and \( D_2 \) are reverse biased.
- diode \( D_1 \) is forward biased and diode \( D_2 \) is reverse biased.
- diode \( D_1 \) is reverse biased and diode \( D_2 \) is forward biased.

The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
- For \( D_1 \): Left side is at \(-5\text{V}\), right side at \(-2\text{V}\). Since the anode is more negative than cathode, it is reverse biased.
- For \( D_2 \): Left side is at \(+5\text{V}\), right side at \(+2\text{V}\). Since the anode is more positive than the cathode, it is forward biased.
