Question:

The V-I characteristics of a silicon diode is shown in the figure. The resistance of the diode at $V_D = -10 V$ is

Options:

$1.0 × 10^4Ω$

$1.0 × 10^5Ω$

$1.0 × 10^6Ω$

$1.0 × 10^7Ω$

Correct Answer:

$1.0 × 10^7Ω$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → $1.0 × 10^7Ω$

The resistance of Diode at a particular voltage ($V_D$) is -

$R=\frac{V_D}{I}$  [By ohm's law]

$=\frac{10}{1μA}=10^7Ω$
