Question:

In the circuit diagram D1, D2, D3 and D4 are diodes. Choose the correct answer from the options given below

Options:

D1 and D2 are forward biased

D1 and D3 are forward biased

D2 and D4 are forward biased

All diodes are forward biased

Correct Answer:

D1 and D3 are forward biased

Explanation:

From the above circuit it is clear that

VA > VB        ∴ D1 is forward biased

VA > VC         ∴ D2 is reverse biased

VC > VD       ∴ D3 is forward biased

VB > VD        ∴ D4 is reverse biased
