In series current across every resistor in a branch is remains same in an ideal case. The diode is forward biased acts like conductor so current across resistor equal to the current across the diode.
Current accross resister is 12/12k=1mA.
Current accross resister is 12/12k=1mA.

THE DIODE IS IDEAL AND HENCE HAS NO VOLTAGE DROP, except for cases where it is framed as a silicon diode with voltage drop of 0.7 so, in this case, using Kirchoff's voltage law,
VT=V1+V2 VT=V2 where v1=0 from V=IR I=V/R.
I=12/12000 I=0.001.
I=1mA.
VT=V1+V2 VT=V2 where v1=0 from V=IR I=V/R.
I=12/12000 I=0.001.
I=1mA.

Ideally, a diode would act like a short circuit (0V across it) if it was conducting current. When a diode is conducting current it's forward biased (electronics jargon for "on"). The current-voltage relationship of an ideal diode. Any negative voltage produces zero current " an open circuit.

According to ohms law,
I = V/R.
So,
I=12/12000.
= 0.001A.
that is, 1ma.
I = V/R.
So,
I=12/12000.
= 0.001A.
that is, 1ma.

Here in the circuit, the diode in the circuit is an ideal diode so No voltage drop in the diode.
So,
Current I = V/R = 12/12k(12000) = 0.001 A or 1 mA.
So,
Current I = V/R = 12/12k(12000) = 0.001 A or 1 mA.

Ideal means perfect.
So 0.7v is disregard.
We only account 0.7v in dealing 2nd approximation. The first approximation is the ideal approximation so I=V/R.
