When using an ohmmeter to check a semiconductor diode, the resistance should be
A) low in both directions
B) high in both directions
C) high in one direction and low in the other
D) zero in one direction and 100 ? in the other

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A semiconductor diode is designed to allow current to flow easily in one direction (forward biased) and to block current flow in the opposite direction (reverse biased), resulting in high resistance in one direction and low resistance in the other when measured with an ohmmeter.
