In the circuit shown below D₁ and D₂ are ideal diodes. The current i₁ and i ₂ are:

1. 0, 4 mA
2. 4 mA,
3. 0, 8 mA
4. 8 mA, 0

Correct Option: A

From given figure let the current flowing through the terminal A and B is I_x (from B to A) and V_AB < 5 V (always) Due to this Diode D₂ remain in the OFF therefore i₁ = 0.

And I_x = I_z =	5 – 3	= 4 mA
	500

Hence alternative (A) is the correct choice.
