MCQ
There is a sudden increase in current in zener diode is:
  • A
    Due to rupture of bonds
  • B
    Resistance of deplection layer becomes less
  • C
    Due to high doping
  • D
    Due to less doping

Answer

  1. Due to rupture of bonds

Explanation:

When Zener diode is connected in reverse bias, as applied voltage reaches at Zener breakdown voltage, due to rupture of bonds there is a sudden increase in current in Zener diode.
