a.
Whether the bulb in the circuit is lighted.
a.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A reverse biased diode has p-side connected to the negative terminal of the battery and the n-side with the positive terminal of the battery. The flow of current is very limited.
The diode across the bulb in circuit A is reverse biased. Hence,a very small current will flow through the bulb and it will not be lighted.
Conclusion:
The bulb is not lighted.
b.
Whether the bulb in the circuit is lighted.

c.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A reverse biased diode has p-side connected to the negative terminal of the battery and the n-side with the positive terminal of the battery. The flow of current is very limited. A forward biased diode has p-side connected to thepositive terminal of the battery and the n-side with the negative terminal of the battery.
A diode across the bulb in circuit C is forward biased. Hence, current will flow through the bulb and it will be lighted.
Conclusion:
The bulb is lighted.
