Define dynamic resistance of diode. State, how it is calculated using forward characteristics of diode.
Definition:
The resistance offered by the diode to the AC operating conditions is known as the ‘Dynamic resistance’ or ‘Incremental resistance’ or ‘AC resistance’ of a diode.
It is denoted by rf in the forward biased condition.
Dynamic forward resistance is calculated by taking change in forward voltage w.r.t. change in forward current
rf = ΔVF/ΔIF.
