Q. Diode is not considered as linear device because
A) The value of plate current is not directly proportional to the plate voltage
B) When plate voltage is zero, plate current also becomes zero
C) Plate and cathode are not in a straight line
D) None of the above
Explanation
(a) In diode value the plate current is not directly proportional to plate voltage, hence not a linear device.
