Step 1: The current flowing through the diode depends on the voltage across the junction. Since the diode is ideal, it will conduct current when the voltage exceeds the threshold value, and the current is determined by Ohm's law.
Step 2: Using the given parameters of the circuit, the current flowing through AB is calculated to be \( 10^{-2} \, A \).
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{10^{-2} \, \text{A}}
\]
