A diode is ;

a) Is the simplest of the semiconductor devices

b) Has a characteristic that closely follows that of a switch

c) Is two terminal device

d) All of the mentioned

Expert Solution

Step 1

We know that

A diode is a two terminal unilateral semiconductor device. Unilateral means( A diode is to allow an electrical current to pass in one direction means during forward baise only)

During reverse baise conditions it act like open circuit

Due to forward conduction mode and reverse conduction mode we can say that it act like switch also
