How is the power dissipation of a diode calculated?
A) diode current times diode resistance
B) diode voltage divided by diode current
C) diode voltage times diode current
D) diode current divided by diode voltage

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Power dissipation in a diode is calculated by multiplying the diode voltage by the diode current. This is because power is equal to voltage times current (P=VI), and in a diode, the voltage and current are both present and contribute to the power dissipation.
