A p-n junction is designed to withstand currents upto a maximum of 10 mA. A resistance of is connected in series with it. When forward biased, the diode has a potential drop of 0.5 V, which is independent of current. Find the maximum voltage of the battery that can be applied to safely forward bias the diode.
1.5 V
2.5 V
3.5 V
4.5 V
The maximum voltage of the battery whose emf, when
applied, can safely forward bias the diode is
