Q: In a reverse biased diode , when the applied voltage changes by 1 V, the current is found to change by 0.5 μA. the reverse bias resistance of the diode is

(a) 2 × 105 Ω

(b) 2 × 106  Ω

(c) 200 Ω

(d) 2 Ω

Click to See Answer :
Ans: (b)
Sol: Resistance of diode = ΔV/(Δ I)

= 1/(0.5 × 10-6)

= 2 × 106 Ω
