Plate Resistance.
Plate Resistance: Plate resistance is the ratio of a small change in voltage to the corresponding change in current. Formula : Plate resistance = ΔV / ΔI At Saturation Current: In the saturation region, the diode current remains almost constant even when the applied voltage changes. Therefore, ΔI ≈ 0. Hence, Plate resistance → ∞ (ideally infinite) Important : At saturation current, the plate resistance of a diode is ideally infinite.
