  • A
    $A$ conductor
  • B
    An insulator
  • C

View Solution

$A$ $2\,V$ battery forward biases a diode. There is a drop of $0.5\,V$ across the diode which is independent of current. Also,a current greater than $10\,mA$ produces large joule heat and damages the diode. If the diode is to be operated at $5\,mA$,the series resistance to be used is:
