@Every1 at +ve half cycle d1 is rev. biased.
10-.7 = 9.3.
9.3/4k = 2.325mv.

But we need only voltage across 2k hence.
2.325m*2 = 4.65.

Since they didn't mention the cut off voltage we have to take the diode as ideal if we repeat the above same process we get the answer 5v hence the ans must b.

@Rajashekhar.

Answer is correct as 9.3v after the diode consider two branches one is having load resistor and the series resistor of 2k while the other branch has 2k only. So load resistor branch has 4k total. So 9.3/4k = 2.325mA.

On +ve signal,diode1 is open and diode2 is forward biased and hence the op Volt vo=vi-vt
=10-0.7=9.3V
Reff=load resistance+2k
2k+2k=4k
Hence I=vo/reff=9.3/(4*10^3)=2.325mA.

When d1 is off then it acts as open. It means load resistance and other r1 resistance are in series. Thats why we take load resistance +2k.

@Sumanth.

You are correct but here some voltage drop passing through diode ie)0.7v

10-0.7=9.3v.

9.3/4k=2.325 mA.

Actually resistance is RL+2K=4k

Now voltage across load is 10-.7v=9.3v
so i=9.3/4
2.325

Answer is correct, 10V-0.7V(drop across diode)/4k(2k series with 2k)

There are 3 resistors. Why the effective resistance is 4k?

Sumanth said:   1 decade ago
Answer should be 2.5 mA rather than 2.325 mA.
