Forward voltage and current are directly proportional for a tunnel diode that is operated between its peak voltage VP ) and its valley voltage VV ).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For a tunnel diode operated between its peak voltage (V_P) and its valley voltage (V_V), the current actually decreases as the voltage increases, which is a characteristic of negative differential resistance, not a direct proportionality.
