How to test diode using digital multimeter #youtubeshorts #diode

To test a diode using a digital multimeter, follow these steps:

01.Set the multimeter to the diode test mode. This is usually indicated by a diode symbol (two triangles pointing opposite each other) or a "V" symbol with a wavy line above it.
02.Touch the red probe of the multimeter to the anode of the diode and the black probe to the cathode.
03.The multimeter should display a forward voltage drop of around 0.7 volts for a silicon diode. If the diode is in reverse bias, the multimeter will display an open circuit (OL).

If the diode does not conduct in either direction, it is defective and should be replaced.

Important: Be careful not to touch the two probes together while testing the diode, as this can short-circuit the diode and damage the multimeter.

Here is a short description of the steps above:

Set the multimeter to diode test mode.
Touch the red probe to the anode and the black probe to the cathode.
Read the forward voltage drop.
