    1. The document provides instructions for testing electronic components like diodes using an analog multimeter. It describes how to test a diode by connecting the multimeter probes in forward and reverse bias configurations. 2. In forward bias, current will flow and the needle will deflect slightly. In reverse bias, no current flows so the needle will not move. A good diode will show these results; a defective diode may show the same reading both ways or no reading at all. 3. The document also lists some physical signs of a damaged diode like burning, cracking, or discoloration. Students are given practice tasks to apply their understanding of diode testing procedures.

    INFORMATION SHEET
    How to Test a Diode
    A diode is a device that lets current flow in only one direction. A diode has two
    terminals, called the anode and the cathode. Current will flow through the diode only when
    positive voltage is applied to the anode and negative voltage to the cathode. If these
    voltages are reversed, current will not flow.

    Using Analog Multimeter to Test a Diode

    Testing a diode with an Analogue Multimeter can be done on any of the resistance
    ranges. [The high resistance range is best - it sometimes has a high voltage battery for this
    range but this does not affect our testing]
    Set the ohmmeter range to x1 or x10. Calibrate the ohmmeter.
    There are two things you must remember.
    1. Connect the positive probes of the tester to the anode (A) of the diode and negative probe
    to the cathode (K) of diode. It should be no deflection or infinite resistance. Meaning, when

    Page | 1
    the diode is measured in one direction, the needle will not move at all. The technical term for
    this is the diode is reverse biased. It will not allow any current to flow. Thus the needle will
    not move.

    The diode is REVERSE BIASED in the diagram above and diodes not conduct.

    Connect the positive probes of the tester to the cathode (K) of the diode and negative
    probe to the anode (A) of diode. The tester should deflect but not rest at zero ohms.
    Meaning if you reverse the test probe, the needle will move to a slightly different position due
    to the resistances inside the meter. The technical term for this is the diode is forward
    biased. This indicates the diode is not faulty.

    The diode is FORWARD BIASED in the diagram above and it conducts.

    2. The leads of an Analogue Multimeter have the positive of the battery connected to the
    black probe and the readings of a "good diode" are shown in the following two diagrams:

    Forward Biased Reverse Biased

    Defective Diode
    • When tester pointer won’t deflect even the probe is reverse. The diode is Open.
    • The resistance reading deflects and measures the same in both directions. The diode
    is shorted.
    • Physical damage is another sign to look for in a diode. Some signs of a damaged
    diode are:
    o A burned cracked diode
    o A spot that looks like a blister (like a small cigarette burn
    sometimes)
    o Some diodes will even be split in two
    o You can also look for a burnt smell coming from the diode
