B)9.3 V.
C)10 V.
D)10.7 V.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a practical forward-biased diode, the voltage at the cathode is slightly less than the voltage at the anode due to the forward voltage drop across the diode, typically around 0.7 V for silicon diodes. Therefore, if the anode is at 10 V, the cathode would be at approximately 9.3 V (10 V - 0.7 V).
