Question

The ratio of forward biased to reverse biased resistance for p-n junction diode is

• A. ${10}^{-1}:1$
• B. ${10}^{-2}:1$
• C. ${10}^4:1$
• D. ${10}^{-4}:1$

Answer 1

The correct option is D ${10}^{-4}:1$

The resistance used in reversed biasing has to be very large than that in forward biasing.

Thus, the ratio of forward biased to reversed biased resistance should be equal to ${10}^{-4}:1$.
