    A light emitting diode (LED) has a voltage drop of 2 V across it and passes a current of 10 mA. When it operates with a 6 V battery through a limiting resistor R. The value of R is

    A) \[40\,\,k\Omega \]                      

    B) \[4\,\,k\Omega \]

    C) \[200\,\,\Omega \]                      

    D) \[400\,\,\Omega \]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The term ?LED? is abbreviated as ?Light Emitting Diode?. It is forward-biased p-n junction which emits spontaneous radiation. Current in the \[\operatorname{circuit} =10 mA = 10 \times  1{{0}^{-}}^{3}A\] and voltage in the circuit \[=6-2=4V\] From Ohm?s law. \[\operatorname{V}=IR\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{4}{10\times {{10}^{-3}}}=400\,\Omega \]
