$A$ diode operates at a constant potential drop of $0.5\, V$ for all currents and has a maximum power rating of $100\, mW$. If the source voltage is $1.5\, V$,what resistance must be connected in series with the diode so that the current in the circuit is at its maximum safe value? (in $\Omega$)

  • A
    $200$
  • B
    $6.67$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $15$

$A$ $2 \text{ V}$ battery is connected to a diode in forward bias. $A$ voltage of $0.5 \text{ V}$ is dropped across the diode,which is independent of the current flowing through it. $A$ current greater than $10 \text{ mA}$ causes excessive heating and damages the diode. If a current of $5 \text{ mA}$ is required in the diode,what value of series resistance must be connected in the circuit?
