In a reverse-biased Zener diode, when the applied bias voltage is equal to the breakdown voltage, then
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
When a Zener diode is operated in the reverse breakdown region, the voltage across it remains practically constant (equal to 
) for a large change in the reverse current.
