The readings corresponding to zener diode are given below in the table. From given table, determine the reverse breakdown voltage of the zener diode.
Forward bias | Reverse bias | ||
(volt) | (volt) | ||
0.5 | 5 | 0.5 | 2.0 |
0.7 | 20 | 1.0 | 2.0 |
0.8 | 40 | 3.0 | 2.0 |
1.0 | 250 | 5.0 | 2.0 |
5.5 | 100.0 | ||
5.5 | 120.0 |
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Current changes by large amount when we change reverse bias voltage from 5 V to 5.5 V, so reverse breakdown voltage is some where there only and there after current increases even though no change in voltage occurs.
