What is the current flowing in R2 in the circuit shown in Fig.? Given: R1 = 500Ω and R2 = 1kΩ .
Correct answer: B. 5mA
- A. 0mA
- B. 5mA
- C. 10mA
- D. 15mA
Explanation
In a parallel circuit, the voltage across all components is the same. Given that the voltage across R2 is 5V, we apply Ohm's Law (V=IR) to find the current: I = V/R = 5V / 1000Ω = 0.005A or 5mA. Therefore, the correct answer is 5mA. The other options do not match the calculations based on the given resistance and voltage.

About Electronics
A p-n junction forms when p-type and n-type semiconductor regions meet, creating a depletion layer, barrier potential and rectifying action. The work covers forward and reverse bias, junction current, diode characteristics, and how a diode converts alternating current into pulsating direct current through half-wave and full-wave rectification.
