Consider the junction diode as ideal. The value of current flowing through AB is:

A

102 A10^{-2} \text{ A}

B

101 A10^{-1} \text{ A}

C

103 A10^{-3} \text{ A}

D

0 A0 \text{ A}

Step-by-Step Solution

Although the specific circuit diagram is missing from the question text, this relies on a standard NEET 2016 problem. In the corresponding circuit, point A is at a potential of +4 V+4 \text{ V} and is connected to the p-side of the diode, while point B is at 6 V-6 \text{ V} and connected to the n-side through a 1 kΩ1 \text{ k}\Omega (1000 Ω1000 \text{ } \Omega) resistor. Since the p-side is at a higher potential than the n-side (VA>VBV_A > V_B), the diode is forward-biased. An ideal diode offers zero resistance in forward bias. The potential difference across the resistor is V=VAVB=4 V(6 V)=10 VV = V_A - V_B = 4 \text{ V} - (-6 \text{ V}) = 10 \text{ V}. According to Ohm's law, the current is I=VR=10 V1000 Ω=0.01 A=102 AI = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{10 \text{ V}}{1000 \text{ } \Omega} = 0.01 \text{ A} = 10^{-2} \text{ A}.
