Which device does not give the same current when the voltage sign is reversed?
ACopper wire
BNichrome coil
CJunction diode
DStandard resistor
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Junction diode
A diode conducts differently in the two voltage directions, so V and I are not linearly related for both signs.
