In case of a \(p-n\) junction diode at high value of reverse bias, the current rises sharply. The value of reverse bias is known as
- A cut-in
- B zener voltage
- C inverse voltage
- D critical voltage
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) zener voltage
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In case of a \(p\) - \(n\) junction diode at high value of reverse bias voltage, the current rises sharply due to zener breakdown. At zener voltage, zener breakdown occurs and current rises sharply.
