The min value of Si 0.7v
15-.7=14.3/3=4.76mA

They have not specified here which diode is that. There for considering ideal diode the answer is 5ma only.

MY OPTION IS C.5mA BECAUSE E=IR(OHMS LAW)
THEREFORE I=E/R
=15V/3KOHM
=5mA

I agree with niyas.

What is the value of ideal diode ?

Venkateswarlu said:   1 decade ago
@Yasmin.

Voltage drop of Si is 0.7, Ge is 0.3 and Ideal diode is 0.

5mA is right answer because diode is consider ideal...

Here they are not mentioned the type of diode so we have to consider the Ideal case
So According to Ohms Law the Answer is C i.e. 5ma

RANJITH RAO said:   1 decade ago
As voltage is in series with diode, there is some voltage drop at diode. So 'v' at 'D'is 14.3, current in circuit is 4.8mA.

@Niyas.

If it is not mentioned then we prefer silicon b/c it has low leakage current, more energy gap, and high resistivity.
