Chapter 29.2, Problem 30PP

To determine

To estimate what happens when two diodes with improper polarity are connected in a series combination of the circuit.

Answer to Problem 30PP

The current will not flow when two diodes with improper polarity is connected in series.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The diode with opposite polarity with obstructs the current in the circuit. Only forward bias diode enables the flow of current.

In such a problem where two diodes with improper polarity are connected in series then there will be no current pass in the circuit. This happens due to obstruction in current caused by the reverse-biased diode.

Conclusion:

Hence, the current will not flow in the circuit containing two diodes with opposite polarity.
