On increasing the reverse biased voltage to a large value in P-N junction diode , the current

Q: On increasing the reverse biased voltage to a large value in P-N a junction diode , the current

(a) increasing slowly

(b) remains fixed

(c) suddenly increases

(d) decreases slowly

Ans: (c)

Sol: On increasing the reverse biased voltage to a large value in P-N a junction diode , the current increases suddenly at break down voltage or Zener voltage .
