Which consequence follows from fitting a flyback diode the wrong way round?

  • A.It short circuits the coil supply and blows the fuse
  • B.The relay operates but does not release, which occurs because the diode holds the current within the coil circuit
  • C.Nothing happens
  • D.The relay chatters, which follows from the diode conducting on alternate half cycles of the supply to the coil

Answer: A

Reversed, the diode conducts directly across the supply and the fuse opens immediately. Direct current has no half cycles, so the last option describes an alternating current phenomenon that cannot apply here. Naming what changes and what stays the same is the reliable route through questions of this shape. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a summary, avoids the usual confusion.
