MCQ
p-n junction diode acts as:
  • A
    ohmic resistance
  • B
    non-ohmic resistance
  • C
    both A and B
  • D
    amplifier

Answer

  1. non-ohmic resistance

Explanation:

We know that in the case of metallic conductors, the potential difference varies in direct proportion to the current flowing. The I−V graph of a ohmic conductor is a straight line. But, a p-n junction diode is not in according with Ohm's law. The current voltage characteristic curve of a p-n junction diode shows both forward bias as well as reverse bias characteristics as shown as in the graph.
