Consider the circuit shown in the given figure. Assuming all the diodes to be ideal, the current supplied by the battery is :

Options

  1. A8 3 A
  2. B3 A
  3. C4 A
  4. D88 21 A

Correct answer

A. 8 3 A

Step-by-step solution

Based on the polarity of the 24 V battery, the top wire is at a higher potential than the bottom wire. For the given diodes: Diode D1 has its p-side connected to the higher potential, so it is forward-biased and acts as a short circuit. Diode D2 has its n-side connected to the higher potential, so it is reverse-biased and acts as an open circuit. Diode D3 has its p-side connected to the higher potential, so it is forward-biased and acts as a short circuit. Since D2 is reverse-biased, no current flows through the mi
