MCQ
On increasing the reverse bias to a large value in a $PN-$junction diode, current
- AIncreases slowly
- BRemains fixed
- ✓Suddenly increases
- DDecreases slowly
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Suddenly increases
c
(c)After a large reverse voltage is $PN-$junction diode, a huge current flows in the reverse direction suddenly. This is called Breakdown of $PN-$junction diode.
