Two ideal diodes D1 and D2 are connected in parallel with opposite polarities between terminals A and B, such that D1's anode is at A and D2's cathode is at A. If terminal B is connected to a positive potential and terminal A is connected to a negative potential, which statement is correct?
- 1D1 and D2 are both reverse biased and hence no current flows.
- 2D1 and D2 are both forward biased and hence current flows from A to B.
- 3D2 is forward biased and D1 is reverse biased, hence current flows from B to A.✓
- 4D1 is forward biased and D2 is reverse biased, hence current flows from A to B.
Correct answer
D2 is forward biased and D1 is reverse biased, hence current flows from B to A.
