text: When current flows from the diode’s anode to its cathode, engineers call it “forward-biased” and the diode has low resistance.
text: In this setup, the diode should read a moderately low resistance, maybe a few tens of thousands or low hundreds of thousands of ohms.
text: A diode should read relatively low resistance in the forward biased direction and very high resistance in the reverse biased direction.
text: If the diode reads low resistances in both directions, this is a sign that the diode is shorted.
text: It has low or zero resistance when forward biased and high or infinite resistance when reverse biased.
text: The bulk resistance is low, such as less than 1 ohm and always less than 10 ohms.
text: The resistance of the diode, when ‘turned on’ or conducting in a ‘forward biased’ mode is therefore not zero ohms, but is very low.
text: In electronics, a diode is a two-terminal electronic component with asymmetric conductance, it has low resistance to current flow in one direction, and high resistance in the other.
text: The slope of the PN junction diode in forwarding bias shows the resistance is very low.
text: In general, when the forward voltage applied to a diode exceeds 0.6 to 0.7V for silicon (or 0.1 to 0.2 V for germanium) material, the diode is assumed to be conducting with low resistance.
