Question
Based on the measurements on table 1.1 and 1.2, what is the condition of the diode?

2. If the red probe is connected to the anode terminal of the diode, this means diode is forward-
biased. If the displayed voltage value is in between 0.6 to 0.7 (since it is silicon diode) then the
diode is healthy and perfect.
3. If the red probe is connected to the cathode and the black to anode, this is the reverse biased
condition of the diode where no current flows through it. Hence the meter should read OL (which is
equivalent to open circuit) if the diode is healthy.
B. Ohmmeter Mode Testing Procedure
1. Identify the terminals anode and cathode of the diode.
2. Keep the multimeter in resistance or ohmmeter mode by rotating the central knob or selector to the
place where ohm symbol or resistor values are indicated.
3. Keep the selector in low resistance (may be 200 ohm) mode for forward-bias and keep it in high
resistance mode (2M ohm) for the reverse bias testing procedure.
