-If the diode is made of silicon in Figure 16-1(b),W hat is the current?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The voltage at the anode is 0.7 V higher than that at the cathode. However, the voltage at the cathode is already 0.8 V, which means the anode voltage (-0.7 V) is lower than the cathode voltage. In this situation, the diode is reverse biased and no current flows through it. Therefore, the answer is 0 A.
