The current (in A) flowing through battery is2n. Find the value

Show answer and solution
The diode D_1is reverse-biased and acts as an open switch as
shown in Fig. So, there is no currentthrough D_1and the

However, D_2is forward biased and acts like a short-current or closed

switch. The current drawn isI = 12/(2 + 4) = 2A.
