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.

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
Is silicon a semiconductor?
Yes,silicon and germanium are semiconductors.
The conclusion of a silicon controlled rectifier?
conclusion of silicon control rectifier
When was Silicon Valley Power created?
Silicon Valley Power was created in 1896.
What is the charge of silicon?
no it does not
What happens to the resistance of silicon as its temperature increases?
A: As temperature increases its resistance increases. Like all silicon diodes it will reach a point where the temperature coefficient is zero but it is at such elevated temperature to make it invaluable
Why are microchips made of sand?
Most sand is composed of quartz - silicon dioxide. The element silicon is used to make microchips.
Why is silicon dioxide used as the layer of furnaces?
Silicon dioxide has a good thermal resistance.
Which element increases its electrical conductivity as its temperature increases?
Silicon because it is an intrinsic semiconductor.
Is silicon carbide is used for increasing the impact strength of the material?
No. Silicon carbide is used for abrasion resistance and traction.
Of these 4 copper wood silicon aluminum which material would have the highest resistance to the flow of electric current?
silicon
What is the specific resistance of pure silicon?

Is there any very high resistance compound of Cobalt and Silicon.?
no
What happens to the silicon layers in a solar cell when the sun shines on it?
bcoz that sun shines is so shines that happens to the silicon layers in a solar cell
Why does F1 driver suit made from silicon compound?
It has resistance to high and low temperature.
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
What do you mean by negative temperature coffecient of silicon?
It strictly means the temperature coeffecient of a particular property of silicon: as the temperature rises, the value of this property falls. Such as electrical resistance.
