The incorrect statement about the property of a Zener diode is

A

Zener voltage remains constant at breakdown

B

It is designed to operate under reverse bias

C

Depletion region formed is very wide

D

$p$ and $n$ regions of zener diode are heavily doped

(NEET-2022)

Solution

For zener diode $\rightarrow$ Doping is high

Depletion region is thin

It is operated in Reverse Bias region

Zener voltage $\left( V _{ z }\right)$ is constant
