A diode characteristic curve is a plot between:

Correct answer: C. Voltage and current

  • A. Current and time
  • B. Voltage and time
  • C. Voltage and current
  • D. Reverse voltage forward voltage

Explanation

B is the correct option. A diode characteristic curve, also known as the I-V (current-voltage) curve, illustrates the relationship between the current flowing through the diode and the voltage across it.This curve helps in understanding the behavior of the diode in different operating conditions, including forward bias (where current flows) and reverse bias (where very little current flows).Thus, the correct answer is that a diode characteristic curve is a plot between Voltage and current.

About Current Electricity

Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
