An ideal diode is reverse biased in series with a 1.0 kΩ resistor across a 10 V battery. What is the potential difference across the resistor?

Correct answer A. Approximately 0 V

Explanation

A reverse-biased ideal diode passes essentially no current, so V = IR across the resistor is about zero and almost the whole 10 V appears across the diode.
