Question: What is the effect of connecting a diode in parallel with a resistor?

Options:

1. It increases the resistance
2. It allows current to bypass the resistor
3. It blocks all current
4. It changes the voltage across the resistor

Correct Answer: It allows current to bypass the resistor

Solution:

Connecting a diode in parallel with a resistor allows current to bypass the resistor when the diode is forward-biased.
