The dynamic resistance of a diode is given by \(R=\frac{26}{i(mA)}~\Omega,\) where \(i\) is the diode current.
Statement I: If the current through the diode increases, then the dynamic resistance decreases.
Statement II: If the temperature of the diode is increased, with the potential difference fixed, the dynamic resistance decreases.
 
1. Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
4. Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect.
