MCQ
There is a sudden increase in current in zener diode is:
- ✓Due to rupture of bonds
- BResistance of deplection layer becomes less
- CDue to high doping
- DDue to less doping
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Due to rupture of bonds
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.
