  • question_answer
    On increasing the reverse bias to a large value in a PN-junction diode, current                    [MP PMT 1994; BHU 2002]

    A)            Increases slowly                 

    B)            Remains fixed

    C)            Suddenly increases           

    D)            Decreases slowly

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               After a large reverse voltage is PN-junction diode, a huge current flows in the reverse direction suddenly. This is called Breakdown of PN-junction diode.
