What will be the resistance measured by an ohmmeter, if a p-n diode is reverse biased? Correct Answer High

When a p-n diode is reverse biased, it offers high resistance. Forward biasing of p-n junction diode offers low resistance. In the case of an ideal p-n junction, resistance is zero. So, the ohmmeter can measure zero resistance.
