A 5 V battery is connected across points X and Y, with its positive terminal connected to point X. Parallel branches containing identical silicon diodes D1 and D2 connected in series with resistors of 10 Ω each are connected across X and Y such that D1 is forward-biased and D2 is reverse-biased. Assuming a practical barrier voltage of 0.7 V for the conducting silicon diode, find the total current supplied by the battery.
