Science is an art, u cant make art without creativity
Answer:
The current can't 'split down the parallel branch, because the diode is reverse biased so is blocking the flow of current. So basically it's acting as an open circuit. Also when the current flows it wouldn't reduce the currents amount flow through the resistor.
Explanation:
Weight is a force, and is defined as mass times acceleration. So (g is acceleration and m is mass):

That's your answer.
