Question

If the Ge diode in the circuit is reverse biased, the current through \(2\ \text{k}\Omega\) resistor

• A. increases by \(0.2\) mA
• B. decreases by \(0.4\) mA
• C. increases by \(0.4\) mA
• D. decreases by \(0.25\) mA
• E. does not change

Hint:

For diode circuits, first decide which diodes are forward biased and which are reverse biased. Then redraw the effective circuit.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
