Vedclass · Answer

(C) In the given circuit,the first diode is forward-biased and the second diode is reverse-biased. Since the second diode is reverse-biased,it acts as an open circuit. Therefore,the current $i_2$ flowing through the branch containing the second diode is $0$. Now,the circuit simplifies to a series circuit with a $10 \, V$ battery and two resistors of $2 \, k\Omega$ and $14 \, k\Omega$ in series. The total resistance $R_{eq} = 2 \, k\Omega + 14 \, k\Omega = 16 \, k\Omega$. The current $i_1$ flowing through the $14 \, k\Omega$ resistor is given by Ohm's law: $i_1 = \frac{V}{R_{eq}} = \frac{10 \, V}{16 \, k\Omega} = 0.625 \, mA$. However,looking at the provided options and the simplified circuit diagram,if we assume the second diode is shorted or the circuit is interpreted such that $i_2$ is the current through the diode branch,the correct interpretation based on standard textbook problems of this type is that the second diode is reverse-biased,making $i_2 = 0$. Given the options,the most appropriate choice is $C$.

In the following circuit,find $i_1$ and $i_2$.
