. In the following circuits PN-junction diodes
D1, D2 and D3 are ideal for the following potentials of A and B. The correct increasing order of resistance between Aand B will be
A. (i) < (ii) < (iii)
B. (iii) < (ii) < (i)
C. (ii) = (iii) < (i)
D. (i) = (iii) < (ii)
Best Answer
Ans: C
Sol: (i) VA = – 10V and VB = – 5V
Diodes D1 and D3 are reverse biased and D2 is forward biased
(ii) When VA = – 5V and VB = – 10V Diodes D2 is reverse biased D1 and D2 are forward biased
(iii) In this case equivalent resistance between A and B is also R.
Hence (ii) = (iii) < (i)
