Why is there a sudden increase in current in Zener diode ?
A
due to rupture of bonds
B
resistance of depletion layer becomes less
C
due to high doping
D
none of the above
Solution
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.
