Question

When the resistance measured between p and n ends of a p-n junction diode is high, it can act as a/an:

Options

• resistor

• inductor

• capacitor

• switch

Answer 1

switch

Explanation:

When the resistance measured between the p and n terminals of a p-n junction diode increases, it indicates that the diode is in reverse bias or an off state (high impedance). In this state, the diode functions as an open switch (non-conducting state).
