A silicon semiconductor diode when subjected to ohmmeter testing gives high resistance in both directions. Which of the following is the correct inference to be drawn? Correct Answer Diode is faulty

A proper diode gives a low resistance reading along one direction and high resistance reading along the other. Hence, if diode gives high resistance readings in both directions, then the diode must be faulty.
