Which of the following statements is correct for the identification of a diode using a multimeter? |
The multimeter shows an initial deflection which falls to zero The multimeter displays current in one direction only The multimeter displays current in both directions Multimeter can not identify a diode |
The multimeter displays current in one direction only |
The correct answer is Option (2) → The multimeter displays current in one direction only When a diode is tested with a multimeter: → In the forward bias direction, the multimeter shows a small current or voltage drop. → In the reverse bias direction, ideally no current flows. ∴ The multimeter displays current in one direction only Correct option: The multimeter displays current in one direction only. |
