THE CURRENT WILL FLOW THROUGH THE LOW RESISTANCE PATH THAT IS THROUGH THE D2 ONLY , ID1=ID2
ID2=(20 - 0.7 - 0.3)/5.6 K

Current always adapt shortest path. It will never flow through 3.3 k resistance.

How to find the values of 0.7 & 0.3?

Arul said:   1 decade ago
Suppose if ask ID1 how to calculate?

Brojo said:   1 decade ago
It is the minimum amount of voltage which is required to operate components like for silicon diode it is 0.7 V while for Germanium Diode its 0.3 V.

ID1 is Same as ID2 because they are connected in series.

How the option C is correct?

@Sreekala K S,

How did you choose the resistance value in 5.6?

Chandhu said:   9 years ago
Silicon and germanium cutoff voltage.

Formula .
ID2 = (E-Si-Ge)/R.
where :
R = 5.6K.
