    What is the current in the circuit shown below [AFMC 2000; RPMT 2001]

    A)            0 amp

    B)            \[{{10}^{-2}}\]amp

    C)            1 amp                                     

    D)            0.10 amp

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               The potential of P-side is more negative that of N-side, hence diode is in reverse biasing. In reverse biasing it acts as open circuit, hence no current flows.
