    The approximate ratio of resistances in the forward and reverse bias of the PN-junction diode is [MP PET 2000; MP PMT 1999, 2002, 03; Pb. PMT 2003]

    A)            \[{{10}^{2}}:1\]                   

    B)            \[{{10}^{-2}}:1\]

    C)            \[1:{{10}^{-4}}\]                  

    D)            \[1:{{10}^{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               Resistance in forward biasing \[{{R}_{fr}}\approx 10\,\Omega \]and resistance in reverse biasing \[{{R}_{Rw}}\approx {{10}^{5}}\Omega \] Þ  \[\frac{{{R}_{fr}}}{{{R}_{Rw}}}=\frac{1}{{{10}^{4}}}\]
