    Two identical p-n junctions are connected in series in three different ways as shown below to a battery. The potential drop across the p-n junctions are equal in:

    A)  circuits 2 and 3

    B)  circuits 1 and 2

    C)  circuits 1 and 3

    D)  none of the circuit

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In circuit 2, each p-n junction is reverse biased, some current will flow giving equal potential difference across each p-n junction diode. In circuit 3, each p-n junction is forward biased, hence same current flows, giving same potential difference across p-n junctions.
