JEE Main 2022 · 27 Jun · Shift 2, Physics question 60

The cut-off voltage of the diodes (shown in figure) in forward bias is 0.6 V. The current through the resister of 40 Ω\Omega is ______ mA.

A 1 V cell in series with a 40 Ω resistor and two parallel branches: 60 Ω with diode D1 pointing right, and 60 Ω with diode D2 pointing left.
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 4

Conducting branch. One diode is forward biased; the other blocks.

Current. 1−0.660+40=4\dfrac{1-0.6}{60+40}=4 mA.

Answer: 4
