Question

As per the given circuit, the value of current through the battery will be ______ A

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 1

To find the current through the battery in the given circuit, we need to analyze it by understanding the behavior of the diodes and resistors.

1. Diode Analysis:
   The circuit has three diodes. Diodes conduct current only in one direction (forward-biased). For simplicity, we'll assume the ideal diodes model:
   • D₁ and D₂ are reverse-biased (won't conduct) due to their orientation against the 10V source.
   • D₃ is forward-biased (will conduct) as it allows current flow from 10V through the 2Ω resistor.
2. Effective Resistance Calculation:
   Since only D₃ conducts, the current flows through the path involving the 6Ω resistor and the 2Ω resistor.
   • R_equivalent = 6Ω + 2Ω = 8Ω
3. Ohm's Law Application:
   Using Ohm's Law: V = IR, where V = 10V and R = 8Ω.
   • I = V/R = 10V / 8Ω = 1.25A

The final computed current through the battery is 1.25A.
