For using a multimeter to identify diode from electrical components, choose the correct statement out of the following about the diode

Options

  1. AIt is two terminal device which conducts current in both directions.
  2. BIt is two terminal device which conducts current in one direction only
  3. CIt does not conduct current gives an initial deflection which decays to zero.
  4. DIt is three terminal device which conducts current in one direction only between central terminal and either of the remaining two terminals

Correct answer

B. It is two terminal device which conducts current in one direction only

Step-by-step solution

A diode is a two-terminal device that conducts current in forward bias and does not conduct current in reverse bias i.e. it conducts current in one direction only.
