diode is active or passive and why?

Answer Posted / priyanka verma

It depends on what type of a diode you mean.
In most cases (rectifier, Zener, etc.) a diode is,
no doubt, a PASSIVE device.
Only in some special cases like with a tunnel diode,
when its negative resistance region is used, it can be considered as an ACTIVE device.
