Question: What happens to the current in a diode when the voltage is reversed beyond the breakdown voltage?

Options:

  1. It increases exponentially
  2. It decreases to zero
  3. It remains constant
  4. It becomes negative

Correct Answer: It increases exponentially

Solution: 

When the reverse voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, the current in the diode increases exponentially, which can lead to damage if not controlled.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the current in a diode when the voltage is reversed beyond the breakdown voltage?
  • Breakdown Voltage – The reverse voltage at which a diode begins to conduct significantly in the reverse direction.
  • Reverse Current – The current that flows through a diode when it is reverse-biased, which increases dramatically beyond the breakdown voltage.
  • Exponential Increase – The nature of current increase in a diode when the reverse voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, often leading to potential damage.
