As we have learnt,

 

P -N junction as diode -

It is a one way device. It offers a low resistance when forward biased and high resistance when reverse biased.

- wherein

R = 0, Forward 

\rightarrow \infty Reverse

 

 

In the figure D, is reverse biased, hence no current will flow through D.

\Rightarrow I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{12V}{6\Omega} = 2 A


Option 1)

1.33 A

Option 2)

1.71 A

Option 3)

2.00 A

Option 4)

2.31 A.
