-What is the voltage across the resistor in Figure 16-1(a)if the diode is germanium?
A)0.7V 
B)0V 
C)20V 
D)19.7V

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The voltage across the resistor in the presence of a germanium diode would be 19.7V. This is because a germanium diode has a forward voltage drop of approximately 0.3V, and if the circuit has a supply voltage of 20V, subtracting the diode's voltage drop (20V - 0.3V) gives 19.7V across the resistor.
