When it is forward biased and, in the case of a zener diode, when it is reverse biased as well. It just is not a linear resistance type of device, and the apparent resistance changes as a function of the applied voltage or current.
zener resistance of a zener diode is the resistance of the zener diode but which is the resistance of a diode
Bulk resistance of diode depends on how it is biased. The bulk resistance of a diode is the approximate resistance of the diode when it is forward biased.
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'.
to determine the comparison of resistance value of both forward and reverse diode . The more the resistance the lower the current , the lower the resistance the higher the current . When reverse bias , the resistance is high and it acts in open circuit and the reverse current is very small that can be neglected . When forward bias , the resistance is low and it acts as short circuit and the forward current is increasing as the voltage supply is higher .
After isolating the diode from the circuit, the diode shows infinite resistance in one direction and low resistance in the other direction. The diode
if the diode is forward biasedwell practically the current flows in a circuit if and only if an effective resistance is present in the circuit, if we consider the diode to be ideal (barrier potential but no internal resistance) in this case an external resistance is required if we use the approximate model (both barrier potential and internal resistance are considered) we need not use an external resistance the internal resistance itself acts as the effective resistance.if the diode is reverse biased:-the same explanation applies even if the diode is reverse biased but one must take care that the reverse voltage drop on diode should not increase the peak inverse voltage mark the diode would be burnt or damaged if this phenomena occurs.So this can be prevented by adding suitable resistance to the circuit through which the voltage drop on diode can be managed
The dynamic resistance of a diode, be it zener or otherwise, will be different from its static resistance because a diode is not a resistor, and resistance is not a function of current flow. It is a diode, and a diode has its own characteristic voltage to current curve, forward and, in the case of a zener, reverse.
no we not use resistance in place of diode.
the amount of voltage applied to the diode
Backward diode
When the voltage increases the temperature in the diode also increases. When the temperature in the diode increases, the resistance decreases.
Diodes are measured in terms of resistance. The formula is as follows Rd = Vd / Id. That is Resistance of the diode = voltage across the diode to current flowing throught the diode.
