Question
When the diode shows saturated current, dynamic place resistance is _____________ .
Options
zero
infinity
indeterminate
different for different diodes
Solution
infinity
Saturated current is the maximum current beyond which, there is no effect of plate voltage (VP) on the plate current (IP). At this stage, dynamic resistance is infinite.
