23. A d.c. battery of V volt is connected to a series combination of a resistor R and an ideal diode D as shown in the figure below. The potential difference across R will be ?

23. A d.c. battery of V volt is connected to a series combination of a resistor R and an ideal diode D as shown in the figure below. The potential difference across R will be ?

(a) 2 V when diode is forward biased
(b) Zero when diode is forward biased
(c) V when diode is reverse biased
(d) V when diode is forward biased

Answer :  (d) V when diode is forward biased





Condition Forward Bias Reverse Bias
Resistance 0 Ω (zero resistance) ∞ Ω (infinite resistance)
Current Flow Current flows freely No current flows
Voltage Drop 0 V (no voltage drop) Voltage across diode = applied voltage (high)
Circuit Relation V = I × R (only resistor has drop) Open circuit condition
