What are the states of the three ideal diodes of the circuit shown in figure ?

• A. D1 OFF, D2 ON, D3 OFF
• B. D1 OFF, D2 ON, D3 ON
• C. D1 ON, D2 OFF, D3 OFF
• D. D1 ON, D2 OFF, D3 ON

Answer: (C)

For the given circuit shown in figure,
D1 is forward bias mode - On state
D2 is in reverse bias mode - off state
D3 is in reverse bias mode - off state.
