A junction diode obeys the resistance formula V=IR, as does every electric circuit. But it does not obey Ohm's law. http://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/showthread.php?t=11674&highlight=Ohm's+law Its resistance is going to vary logarithmically with the current. http://people.seas.harvard.edu/~jon...de_characteristics/diode_characteristics.html .
