The reading of the ammeter for a silicon diode in the given circuit is

  • 13.5 mA

  • 0 mA

  • 15 mA

  • 11.5 mA


D.

11.5 mA

Clearly, from fig. given in the question, Silicon diode is in forward bias.


therefore,
The potential barrier across the diode
ΔV = 0.7 volts

Current, I = V - VR = 3 - 0.7200 = 2.3200 = 11.5 mA
