$A$ $p-n$ junction diode can withstand up to $20 \, mA$ current under forward bias. The diode has a potential difference of $0.5 \, V$ across it, which is assumed to be independent of current. What is the maximum voltage of the battery used to forward bias the diode when a resistance of $125 \, \Omega$ is connected in series with it (in $V$)?

  • A
    $3.0$
  • B
    $2.5$
  • C
    $3.2$
  • D
    $2.0$
