In the following circuits, PN-junction diodes D1, D2 and D3 are ideal for the following potential of A and B, the correct increasing order of resistance between A and B will be



(i) - 10 V, - 5 V        (ii) - 5 V, - 10 V       (iii) - 4 V, - 12 V

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:



i)In this case of current will flow from B top A. No current will flow through branch C, E (as marked in figure)

⇒   Req=R4+R+R4=3R2

ii)Here current will flow from A to B so no current will flow in branch D

⇒   Req=R4+R2+R4=R

iii)Here also current will flow from A to B, soReq=Rsame as (ii)

⇒   Rii=Riii < Ri
