Asked in JEE Main 28th June 1st Shift 2022 · Biasing and I-V characteristics

• (1) It is two terminal device which conducts current in both directions.
• (2) It is two terminal device which conducts current in one direction only.
• (3) It does not conduct current gives an initial deflection which decays to zero.
• (4) It is three terminal device which conducts current in one direction only between central terminal and either of the remaining two terminals.

Step-by-step solution

Why the other options are wrong

• (1) That describes a resistor.
• (3) That describes a capacitor charging through the meter.
• (4) That describes a transistor.
