Identifying the Anode and the Cathode of Diode with an Ohmmeter

Before attempting to test a good or defective diode, one very important thing to consider is its terminals or electrodes. These electrodes are anode (A), positive current-carrier and cathode (K), negative current-carrier. Following are some points to consider in determining the electrodes of a diode.
