When the $P$ end of a $P-N$ junction is connected to the negative terminal of the battery and the $N$ end to the positive terminal of the battery,then the $P-N$ junction behaves like:

The circuit contains two diodes,each with a forward resistance of $50\, \Omega$ and an infinite reverse resistance. If the battery voltage is $6\, V$,the current through the $120\, \Omega$ resistance is $mA$.

In the figure,two $P-N$ junctions are connected. In which of the following connections will the voltages across the $P-N$ junctions be equal?

For the circuit shown in the figure,the equivalent resistance between points $A$ and $B$ for two cases $(i)$ $V_A > V_B$ and (ii) $V_B > V_A$ is $\qquad \Omega$ and $\qquad \Omega$ respectively. ($D_1$ and $D_2$ are ideal diodes)
