Why is input resistance low and output resistance high in transistor?

The input resistance of a trasister is jst like pn junction of a diode which has a breakdown voltage of .7v for silicon and the output resistance is like a reverse bias of a diode and hence the resistance is high


Why diode logic gate is not suitable for cascading operation?

the pullup or pull down resistance in the diode logic gate makes it a high output resistance device.If u try to drive another diode logic gate with it the output voltage of the first gate will be affected by the resistance in the second gate.A diode logic gate should always drive a high input resistance input.


How do you test diode using multimeter?

A Diode will pass the electrical current into one direction, and will produce high resistance in the opposite direction. To check a diode, use an Ohm-Meter or a "multi meter", and set to measure resistance "Ohm", in the 1k Scale. You will have two leads in the ohm meter + and - (Red and Black) If you measure the resistance in one direction ( red lead touching one of the diode leads , and the black is touching the other lead ) , and you found a low resistance in one direction, and a very high resistance in the other direction ( by reversing the red/black leads) , this diode should be ok. If you find low resistance in both directions, this diode is shorted, and is damaged If you find high resistance in both directions, this diode is open circuit, and is damaged


Do diodes obey Ohms law?

Diodes do not obey Ohm's Law, at least when viewed as an individual component. When doing circuit analysis, however, you can make the case that, for a specific situation, they do. In fact, using this technique, everything "obeys" Ohm's law. In the simple case of a resistor, operated within its limits, Ohm's Law works just fine. Voltage is current times resistance. As voltage goes up, current goes up proportionately. You can predict the voltage or current knowing the other along with resistance. A diode, on the other hand, is non linear. As you apply voltage across it in the forward direction, it initially has high resistance. All of a sudden it has low resistance as it begins to conduct. As you increase the current, the resistance decreases, so the voltage drop is relatively (though not exactly) constant. At a certain point, around when you exceed the maximum forward current, the diode fails. In the reverse direction, an ordinary diode seems to have high resistance, until you reach about max reverse voltage, at which point the diode fails. In the case of a zener diode, reverse behavior is similar to forward behavior, except at a different voltage. Even though the diode does not obey Ohm's law, you can still use Ohm's Law to analyze the circuit. You just have to remember that the dynamic resistance of the diode changes as a function of the applied voltage. The value of Ohm's Law becomes evident when you consider that, at each static condition of the circuit, you do know the voltage and current through the diode and, as a result, you can use Ohm's law to calculate its dynamic resistance. This will allow you to extend the analysis by back substitution and simplification until you know more and more about the circuit.


What happens if a silicon diode measures high value of resistance with the meter leads in both positions?

If the meter is developing more than the necessary forward breakdown voltage of the diode, typically 0.7 volts, then the diode is bad. However, some meters do not generate enough voltage in resistance mode to bias the diode on, unless you flip a switch that enables diode test mode. Use another meter at the same time to measure the voltage across the diode and compare that with the diode's published forward breakdown voltage.

Which diode will work when two different diodes are in parallel?

the path of least Resistance electricity is like water it flows in the direction of least Resistance so current should flow in the diode with the lowest Resistance but if the draw on current was high enough it would also start to flow in the higher resistance diode


How do you identify the polarity of a diode when the tester is on resistance scale?

ln reverse biase high resistance and in forward biase very low resistance


Why doesn't zener diode have negative resistance?

because of its high break down voltage.


What is meaning of diode?

a diode is a two-terminal electronic component with asymmetric conductance, it has low (ideally zero) resistance to current flow in one direction, and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the other.


Can Crystal Diode acts as a Automatic Switch?

A diode typically has low resistance for current in one direction, and high resistance for current in the other direction. This is not really the description of anything that could be called a 'switch'.

How is it possible to test a diode with a multimeter?

The diode must be isolated from any parallel current paths to test. check resistance both directions through diode. readings should show an open (or very high resistance) one direction and a short (or very low resistance) the other direction. Usually, a failed diode will show an open both directions. Set the multimeter to check resistance, attach each meter lead to opposite leads on diode, note reading, then swap meter leads and compare readings.
