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

Figure

  • A
    4 A
  • B
    3 A
  • C
    1 A
  • Correct answer
    D
    2 A

Solution

From the figure, It is clear that diodes D1 and D3 are reverse biased, therefore they will not conduct any current and the resistance of 11 Ω and 5 Ω will be not in use. The diode D2 is forward biased, therefore the current flowing through the diode D2 is same as the current through the battery.

Figure

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

i=207+3=2 A

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
