Consider the case when \mathrm{Ge} and \mathrm{Si} diodes are connected as show in the given figure.
Equivalent voltage drop across the combination \mathrm{Ge} and \mathrm{Si} diode \mathrm{= 0.3\ V}
\mathrm{\Rightarrow \text { Current } i=\frac{12-0.3}{5 \mathrm{k} \Omega}=2.34 \mathrm{~mA}}
\mathrm{\therefore \text { Out put voltage } V_0=R i=5 \mathrm{k} \Omega \times 2.34 \mathrm{~mA}=11.7 \mathrm{~V}}
Now consider the case when diode connection are reversed. In this case voltage drop
across the diode’s combination \mathrm{=0.7\ V}
\mathrm{\Rightarrow \text { Current } i=\frac{12-0.7}{5 \mathrm{k} \Omega}=2.26 \mathrm{~mA}}
\mathrm{\therefore V_0=i R=2.26 \mathrm{~mA} \times 5 \mathrm{k} \Omega=11.3 \mathrm{~V}}
Hence charge in the value of \mathrm{V_0=11.7-11.3=0.4 \mathrm{~V}}
