Question

Two ideal diodes are placed in series, pointing in opposite directions. Part A What is the equivalent circuit for the combination? O The equivalent circuit for two ideal diodes in series pointing in opposite directions is an open circuit because one of the diodes is forward conducting for either direction of current flow O The equivalent circuit for two ideal diodes in series pointing in opposite directions is a short circuit because current cannot flow in the reverse direction for either diode. O The equivalent circuit for two ideal diodes in series pointing in opposite directions is an open circuit because current cannot flow in the reverse direction for either diode OThe equivalent circuit for two ideal diodes in series pointing in opposite directions is a short circuit because one of the diodes is forward conducting for either direction of current flow Submit My Answers Give Up Part B What is the equivalent circuit if the diodes are in parallel and pointing in opposite directions? O The equivalent circuit for two ideal diodes in parallel pointing in opposite directions is a short circuit because one of the diodes is forward conducting for either direction of current flow. The equivalent circuit for two ideal diodes in parallel pointing in opposite directions is an open circuit because current cannot flow in the reverse direction for either diode O The equivalent circuit for two ideal diodes in parallel pointing in opposite directions is an open circuit because one of the diodes is forward conducting for either direction of current flow.

Explanation / Answer

part a:

When two ideal diodes placed in series opposition direction, the equivalent circuit for two diodes in this condition is open circuit because current will not flow in the reverse direction for either diode.

so C is the answer.

part b

When two ideal diodes are placed in parallel opposite direction, the equivalent for two ideal diodes in parallel opposite direction act as short circuit because one of the diode is in forward conditon in either half cycles. so the current flows in either direction.

option A is the answer.
