To drop the unwanted voltage.
Consider ideal diode to be connected in series with resistor of 6kSilicon diode forward bias voltage = 0.7 voltsCurrent across 6k resistor = (5-0.7)/6000 amperesVoltage across {resistor + diode}=4.3 + 0.7=5vIf silicon internal resistance is 6k then voltage across diode=5vIf external resistance is 6k and diode resistance is negligible then voltage across diode=0.7v
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.
When an ohm meter is connected to a diode in a forward-biased direction, it should read a low resistance value, typically close to zero ohms. This indicates that the diode is conducting current, allowing the flow of electricity through it. If the ohm meter is connected in reverse bias, it will typically show a very high resistance or infinite resistance, indicating that the diode is blocking current.

no we not use resistance in place of diode.
A resistance is connected in series with p-n junction of diodes to limit the number of electrons that flow across the junction.
If diode is connected in series then current will flow only in one direction. ie. Current flow occurs only when diode is forward biased. ANSWER: It depends are the diodes are connected in series if they are back to back no current will flow if connected in the forward conduction mode then they will conduct.

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.
the diode will have two polarities anode and cathode .take multimeter and set it in buzer mode or resistance mode and connect the positive terminal of multimeter to anode of diode and negative to the cathode the multimeter shows the resistance say 500-700ohms if it working and doesn't show any impedance i.e, very high impedance in reverse bias i.e, by connecting the positive terminal of multimeter to cathode of diode and negative terminal to anode,and in no working condition it shows same characteristics as in reverse bias connected. the simple way of checking diode is connect the 2v led in series with the diode to the battery of 3v the led will glow if the diode is connected in forward bias in circuit and it doesn't glow if the diode is connected in reverse bias in circuit /diode is damaged . A: a diode will conduct from cathode [negative ] to anode [positive] A stripe at one end is the cathode or a stripe on the arrow is the cathode. By applying the proper voltage it will conduct and show low resistance and a voltage from .6v to .7v. Reversing the lead it will show relatively hi resistance.

After isolating the diode from the circuit, the diode shows infinite resistance in one direction and low resistance in the other direction. The diode

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.
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
