The avalanche breakdown in p-n junction is due to:
✓
Answer
- Cumulative effect of conduction band electron.
The avalanche breakdown in p-n junction is due to cumulative effect of conduction band electron. In reverse bias, due to applied electric field, electrons acquire enough energy to free more electron bound to the atom. The abundant number of electron-hole pairs are created for conduction, this is cumulative effect.

In rear-wheel drive cars, the engine rotates the rear wheels and the front wheels rotate only because the car moves. If such a car accelerates on a horizontal road, the friction:
- On the rear wheels is in the forward direction.
- On the front wheels is in the backward direction.
- On the rear wheels has larger magnitude than the friction on the front wheels.
- On the car is in the backward direction.
