Questions and Answers

What is the trouble with a silicon diode that measures a low value of resistance with the meter leads in both positions?

  • The diode is shorted to ground.
  • The diode is working correctly.
  • The diode is open.
  • The diode is internally shorted. (correct)

    • Under normal conditions, a diode conducts current when it is:

  • avalanched.
  • forward-biased. (correct)
  • saturated.
  • reverse-biased.

    • As the forward current through a silicon diode increases, the internal resistance:

  • increases.
  • remains the same.
  • decreases. (correct)
  • NOTA (None of the above)

    • For a forward-biased diode, the barrier potential:
