Chapter 1: Problem 34

The positive lead of an ohmmeter is connected to the inode of a dinde and tie nepative lead is connected to the cathode. The diode is (a) reversed-biased (b) open (c) forward-hissed (d) faulty (e) answers (b) and (d)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The diode, with the positive lead of the ohmmeter connected to the anode and the negative lead connected to the cathode, is in a forward-biased state. The correct answer is (c) forward-biased.

Step by step solution

01

Understand the Diode Configuration

The positive lead of the ohmmeter is connected to the anode, and the negative lead is connected to the cathode. This means that there is a higher voltage at the anode, as compared to the cathode.
02

Check for Reversed-Bias

In a reversed-biased diode, the cathode has a higher voltage than the anode. In the given configuration, we have a higher voltage at the anode, which eliminates the possibility of the diode being reversed-biased. Thus, option (a) is not correct.
03

Check for Forward-Bias

In a forward-biased diode, the anode has a higher voltage than the cathode. In our configuration, the anode has a higher voltage, so the diode is forward-biased. This means that option (c), forward-hissed (forward-biased), is the correct answer.
04

Check for Open and Faulty States

Options (b) and (d) are not relevant to the configuration of the diode in this case, as they describe states where either the diode is disconnected or not working properly. Option (e) combines them, but neither of these are relevant scenarios for the given configuration. Therefore, the correct answer is: (c) forward-biased
