Question

A diode characteristic curve is a plot between

• A. current and time
• B. voltage and time
• C. voltage and current
• D. voltage and resistance

Answer 1

The correct option is C voltage and current

The diode is a device formed from a junction of n-type and p-type semiconductor material. When it is forward biased (the higher potential is connected to the p-type lead), it will pass current. When it is reverse biased (the higher potential is connected to the n-type lead), the current is blocked. Hence, characteristics of diode can be studied by plotting voltage versus current.
