The lower cable has the lowest potential in the circuit, there is no way how current could flow through the diode in this setup.

nrshakya said:Is there any current flow through the diode in this circuit (attached) ?
My initial answer was that there was none but then again I just wanted to confirm because all the other questions don't have any current flowing through them either. Looked fishy/
No current. The cathode is biase + with resect to the anode, right?

Has any data for the diode been provided? For example an IV curve that might tell you what the reverse breakdown voltage is?
