In the given circuit, D₁ and D₂ are ideal diodes. What is the current flowing through the battery?

Options

  1. A2.5 A
  2. B1.25 A
  3. C2 A
  4. D5 A

Correct answer

C. 2 A

Step-by-step solution

In the given circuit, the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the left side. Diode D₁ is forward-biased as its p-side (anode) is connected to the higher potential. Being an ideal diode, it acts as a short circuit (zero resistance). Diode D₂ is reverse-biased as its n-side (cathode) is connected to the higher potential. It acts as an open circuit (infinite resistance), so no current flows through the branch containing R₃ . The effective circuit consists of R₁ and R₂ in series with the 10 V battery. The
