Vedclass · Answer

(C) From the given circuit diagram,the silicon diode is connected in forward bias.The potential barrier (knee voltage) for a silicon diode is $\Delta V = 0.7 \ V$.The net voltage across the resistor $R = 200 \ \Omega$ is $V_{net} = V - \Delta V = 3 \ V - 0.7 \ V = 2.3 \ V$.Using Ohm's law,the current $I$ in the circuit is:$I = \frac{V_{net}}{R} = \frac{2.3 \ V}{200 \ \Omega} = 0.0115 \ A$.Converting the current to milliamperes $(mA)$:$I = 0.0115 	imes 1000 \ mA = 11.5 \ mA$.

The reading of the ammeter for a silicon diode in the given circuit is ....... $mA$.
