In the following circuit diagram, the current through the battery is
In the following circuit diagram, the current through the battery is

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
From the figure, It is clear that diodes and are reverse biased, therefore they will not conduct any current and the resistance of and will be not in use. The diode is forward biased, therefore the current flowing& through the diode is same as the current through the battery.

On redrawing the circuit as& shown, we can obtain the value of current as
