The correct answer is:
$20$
$20$
$$
l_{\text {initial }}=0 \text { for } V_i \leq+1 \mathrm{~V}
$$
This diode conduct only beyond $V_i=+1 \mathrm{~V}$
$$
I_{\text {final }}=\frac{5}{250}=0.02 \mathrm{~A}
$$
So, change in $I=0.02 \mathrm{~A}=20 \mathrm{~mA}$
l_{\text {initial }}=0 \text { for } V_i \leq+1 \mathrm{~V}
$$
This diode conduct only beyond $V_i=+1 \mathrm{~V}$
$$
I_{\text {final }}=\frac{5}{250}=0.02 \mathrm{~A}

So, change in $I=0.02 \mathrm{~A}=20 \mathrm{~mA}$
