Why the resistance of forward bias is equals to zero nd resistance of reverse bias is infinite?

the junction is conducting when forward biased, approaching zero resistancethe junction is nonconducting when reverse biased, approaching infinite resistanceneither is exactly zero or infinite


What is the behavior of a forward and reverse biased diode?

Forward Resistance:def: It is resistance offered by diode to the forward bias is known as forward resistance.This resistance is not the same for the flow of DC as for the changing current. Accordingly this resistance is of two types :1. DC FORWARD RESISTANCE.2. AC FORWARD RESISTANCE.1. DC forward resistance: It is the opposition by diode to the DC. It is measured by the ratio of DC voltages across the diode to the resulting DC current through it.2. AC forward resistance: It is the opposition offered by the diode to the changing current. It is measured by the ratio of change in voltage across diodes to the resulting change in current through diode. The AC forward resistance is more significant as the diodes are generally used with alternating voltage.Reverse Resistance:def: The resistance offered by the diode to the reverse bias is known as Reverse Resistance. It can be DC reverse resistance or AC reverse resistance depending upon whether the reverse bias is direct or changing voltage. Idealy the reverse resistance of a diode is infinte however in practice the reverse resistance is not infinite because for any value of reverse bias, there does exist a small leakage current. It may be emphasized their that reverse resistance is very large compared to the forward resistance.These Definitions are from PRINCIPLES OF ELECTRONICS by V.K MEHTA and ROHIT MEHTA


Why do diede has two resistance values in ieone in forward bias other in reverse bias?

If you are talking about reverse biasing a diode, then you are talking about a zener diode. A zener diode, like a normal diode, has a forward bias around 0.7 volts (depending on current and temperature). Using Ohm's law, you can calculate the effective resistance of the diode in forward bias. (Example: 0.7 volts, 100 milliamps, 7 ohms) In reverse bias, however, a zener diode conducts at a different voltage. This is what zener diodes do. Using Ohm's law, you will get a different effective resistance of the diode in reverse bias, because it is dropping a different voltage. (Example: 5.6 volts, 100 milliamps, 56 ohms) It should be noted that attempting to measure the resistance of a diode does not make sense, because it is a non linear device. You should instead consider the current to voltage curve to understand the diode, be it regular or be it zener.


Why high value resistor used in reverse bias diode circuit?

In a reverse bias condition of a circuit current initially remains the same for low voltage but at the breakdown voltage current increases fast even for a small increase in voltage.hence.........


What is reverse resistance?

Reverse resistance refers to the opposition to the flow of electric current in the reverse direction within a semiconductor device, such as a diode or transistor. In these devices, reverse resistance is typically much higher than forward resistance, allowing current to flow primarily in one direction. This characteristic is crucial for the functionality of components like diodes, which are designed to block current flow when reverse-biased. High reverse resistance helps prevent unwanted current leakage, ensuring efficient operation in electronic circuits.

What is the importance of the reverse-to-forward resistance ratio of a diode?

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 .

Explain the working process of tunnel diode?

Tunnel diode is a degenerative diode which works under quantum mechanism of tunneling. It exhibits a negative resistance region. They are used in high speed switching circuits. Tunnel diode operation: At equilibrium condition, energy bands are crossed to keep Ef (fermy level energy) constant. When a small forward or reverse bias is applied the filled and empty energy states will come opposite to each other and tunneling takes place. The depletion region will be sharp if the doping is high. Reverse bias is applied: When reverse bias is applied Efp will come above Efn. The filled states of p will come opposite to empty states of n. So tunneling takes place from p to n. If reverse bias is increased further then tunneling and reverse current increases.
