Question
Find the current through the battery circuits shown in figure.

Answer

Both diodes are forward biased. Thus the net diode resistance is 0.

$\text{i}=\frac{5}{\frac{10\times10}{10+10}}=\frac{5}{5}=1\text{A}$
One diode is forward biased and other is reverse biased.

$\text{i}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{R}_\text{net}}=\frac{5}{10+0}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5\text{A}$

  1. An equiconvex lens with radii of curvature of magnitude r each, is put over a liquid layer poured on top of a plane mirror. A small needle, with its tip on the principal axis of the lens, is moved along the axis until its inverted real image coincides with the needle itself. The distance of the needle from the lens is measured to be 'a'. On removing the liquid layer and repeating the experiment the distance is found to be 'b'.

Given that two values of distances measured represent the focal length values in the two cases, obtain a formula for the refractive index of the liquid.
