    A light emitting diode (LED) has a voltage; drop of 2 V across it and passes a current of 10 mA. When it operates with a 6 V battery through a limiting resistor R. The value R is:

    A) 40 \[k\Omega \]      

    B)                       4k\[k\Omega \]                               

    C)       200\[k\Omega \]             

    D)       400\[k\Omega \]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The term LED is abbreviated as Light Emitting Diode. It is forward-biased p-n junction which emits spontaneous radiation. Current in the circuit \[=10m\,A=10\times {{10}^{-3}}A\] and voltage in the circuit \[=6-2=4V\] From Ohms law. \[V=IR\] \[\therefore \]  \[R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{4}{10\times {{10}^{-3}}}=400\Omega \]
