Answer
- Circuit 2 and circuit 3.
In circuit 1, one diode is forward biassed and the other diode is reverse biassed. The forward-biassed diode offers zero resistance (ideally) to the current flow, so it can be replaced by a short circuit. The voltage drop across the first diode will be zero. The second diode is reverse biassed, so it can be replaced by an open circuit; hence, the voltage drop across this diode will be maximum.
In circuit 2, both the diodes are forward biassed, so they can be replaced by short circuits; hence, the voltage drop across both of them will be minimum and equal.
In circuit 3, both the diodes are reverse biassed, so both can be replaced by open circuits; hence, the voltage drop across both of them will be maximum and equal.
