Relation between R and I is inversely proportional. Diode current increases so resistance decreases.

Abdul Haleem said:   1 decade ago
In diode internal resistance (i.e Rd = 0.7 ohm) will be same for all current.

Diode has dynamic resistance that is reason increasing in I cause to decrease in R.

Actual reason for this answer.

Semiconductors are having negative temperature coefficient so when current increases due to this temperature also increase and because of this resistance decreases.

Dynamic resistance is the same as linear resistance true or false?

Please tell me.

When forward current increase then due to power dissipation some temp increase due to temp more electrons and holes created due to this majority charge carriers increase some amount so so conductivity increase so resistivity decrease resistance decrease.

We can see in the characteristics of a diode. It's slope (1/R) increases on increasing current, thus it means that are will decrease.

but I had a query?

That is in diode internal resistance is nothing but the internal voltage of 0.7(si) and 0.3(ge) which is constant. Then why it is solved by ohm's law?
