Consider the junction diode as ideal. The value of current flowing through AB is:
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 and is connected to the p-side of the diode, while point B is at and connected to the n-side through a () resistor. Since the p-side is at a higher potential than the n-side (), the diode is forward-biased. An ideal diode offers zero resistance in forward bias. The potential difference across the resistor is . According to Ohm's law, the current is .
