According to ohms law V=IR. So the current is inversely proportional to resistance. The resistance decreases in forward bias.

It doesn't obeys ohms law. Dynamic resistance is the only reason for this since it depends upon temperature and current.

Internal resistance rd= 26 mV/Diode current.
So it decreases when forward current increases.
So it decreases when forward current increases.

@prasanna, I too think the same. Semiconductors do not obey ohm's law.

But diode is a non-linear device. It does not obey ohms law.

R is the constant of proportionality . So . we can't say that R will decrease as current increases as per Ohm's Law . Of course R will decrease in this case. In case of diode, the dynamic resistance is related to the current by R=(Thernmal Voltage )/ Current through the diode , at room temp R=(26 mv)/I. Hence the result.

R=V/I

According to ohms law V=IR.
So current is inversely proportional to resistance.
Hence as the current increases, resistance decreases.
So current is inversely proportional to resistance.
Hence as the current increases, resistance decreases.
