Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(10^{-6}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Forward bias resistance

\(=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta I}=\frac{0.1}{10 \times 10^{-3}}=10 \Omega\)

Reverse bias resistance \(=\frac{10}{10^{-6}}=10^{7} \Omega\)

Ratio of resistances

\(=\,\frac {Forward \,\,bias\,\, resistance }{Reverse\,\, bias \,\,resistance}\)

\(=10^{-6}\)
