a: the reading will be the same both ways
a: A shorted diode will exhibit the same voltage, nearly zero, across it. (Normally, it has between 0.6 and 1.7 volts across it in the forward bias condition.) Out of circuit, measured with an ohmmeter, it will show near zero ohms in both directions.

When a damaged diode conducts current in either direction it is called?
shorted
How is balanced modulator different from diode bridge modulator?
A diode bridge modulator is one kind of balanced modulator.
What happens when emitter and collector of a transistor are short?
The transistor acts like a normal pn diode. in NPN transistor the both n i.e.,collector and emitter ane shorted then they become a n and other is p so pn diode is formed. When the emitter and the collector of a transistor are short, the emitter current =the collector current.
How do you identify for a shorted and an a opened transistor?
This can be quickly done with a multimeter in ohms or diode scale. Test EB & CB junctions as you would ordinary diodes and test CE for leakage both ways (there should be none).
How do you determine the anode and a cathode of a diode by multimeter?
A: ascertain the polarity of the ohmmeter leads as + - potential available then set the scale to kilo ohms and see if the reading is hi [ is the + lead is + then that imply that the diode is + to the cathode] therefore is not conducting. reverse the diode and the reading should be low implying anode is positive and the diode is conducting
