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


Why does F1 driver suit made from silicon compound?

F1 driver suits are not made from silicon compounds. They are typically made from a fire-resistant material like Nomex to protect drivers from fires in case of a crash. Silicon is not commonly used in driver suits due to its flammability and lack of fire resistance.
