Question

There is a sudden increase in current in zener diode is
  1. Due to rupture of bonds
  2. Resistance of deplection layer becomes less
  3. Due to high doping
  4. Due to less doping

A
Due to rupture of bonds
B
Due to less doping
C
Due to high doping
D
Resistance of deplection layer becomes less
Solution
Verified by Toppr

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.
