  1. Question 1

    Q1. A sinusoidal voltage of peak value 10 V is applied to a diode and a 1 kΩ resistor in series. What is the peak current?

    • A) 10 mA
    • B) 0 A
    • C) 5 mA
    • D) 20 mA

    Answer: 10 mA

    Explanation: Peak current = peak voltage / resistance = 10 V / 1 kΩ = 10 mA. Diode is forward biased.
