A silicon diode measures a low value of resistance with the meter leads in both positions. The trouble, if any, is
the diode is open.
the diode is shorted to ground.
the diode is internally shorted.
the diode is working correctly.

Where it is mentioned that the diode is forward biased?

Reshma said:   1 decade ago
The diode is short circuited, it shows zero resistance.

Hassan said:   1 decade ago
Low Resistance in both directions. Normally in forward biased diode shows low resistance and in reverse bias shows high resistance.

What is the meaning of trouble if any ? please explain.

Vishnu said:   1 decade ago
As the diode conducts it shows no resistance.

Bhasker said:   1 decade ago
How the meter show 2 different values for measuring a single resistance?

Mahesh..K said:   1 decade ago
Diode measures the low resistance means, diode should be in forward bias.

Shashi........ said:   1 decade ago
That moment diode is conducting. That means current flowing through the diode so resistance is Zero of that time.

It is absolutely sure that ideal condition is absolutely different from the practical condition so we have to understand on the practical basis.

What is the meaning of 'trouble if any' in the question?
