To compare the resistance provided by
Answer to Problem 32SSC
The resistance becomes high for a reverse bias diode and the resistance is low for a forward bias diode.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The resistance is indirectly proportional to the flow of current and it depends in the polarity of the diode.
In forward bias, the resistance is low and the flow of current is high in the circuit. In the reverse bias, the resistance becomes high and so it obstructs the flow of current in the circuit. Therefore, the flow of current is small in reverse bias.
Conclusion:
Hence, the reverse bias offers more resistance as compare to forward bias.
