I=?
I=v/r v=12 volt, r=12 k ohms or 1200 ohms
I=12/1200
I=0.01amps or 10 milliamps
I=v/r v=12 volt, r=12 k ohms or 1200 ohms
I=12/1200
I=0.01amps or 10 milliamps

I=V/R.
V=12v.
R=12kohm.
I=12/12000.
I=0.001 amp.
I =1mA.
V=12v.
R=12kohm.
I=12/12000.
I=0.001 amp.
I =1mA.

It is right in case of ideal vd=0 because internal diod resistance is 0.
So I=12-0/12=1mA.
So I=12-0/12=1mA.

In case of ideal diode in forward bias voltage drop is 0.
Hence I= V/R.
I=12/12k.
=1mA.
Hence I= V/R.
I=12/12k.
=1mA.

Generally si or ge diode has consider 0.7v barrier. But in case of ideal it should be consider 0v, that's why answer is 1mA.

In ideal condition drop is equal to 0 so answer is 1 mA.

Since diode is ideal, voltage drop across diode is zero. So current through diode i=12/12k=1ma. Nothing else.

We will assume diode as ideal because there is no specify that it is Si or Ge.
So I = v/r, given v=12v & r=12K.
I = 12v/12k = 1mA.
So I = v/r, given v=12v & r=12K.
I = 12v/12k = 1mA.

As they haven't mentioned about diodes condition whether it is ideal or not.
so,assuming;
1) diode as ideal = drop will be 0v,
Hence answer = 1mA.
2) diode as practical(non-ideal) = drop will be 0.7 for silicon diode.
Hence answer = 0.942mA.

V = IR.
12 = I * 12000.
I = 12/12000.
I = 1mA.
IN IDEAL DIODE, THERE IS NO VOLTAGE DROP DOWN.
12 = I * 12000.
I = 12/12000.
I = 1mA.
IN IDEAL DIODE, THERE IS NO VOLTAGE DROP DOWN.
