A 30 V Zener will have depletion layer width_______________ that of 10 V Zener?
Correct answer: A. More than
- A. More than
- B. Less than
- C. Equal to
- D. None of the above
Explanation
A higher breakdown-voltage Zener generally has a wider depletion region, so a 30 V Zener has a wider depletion layer than a 10 V Zener. Very low-voltage Zeners rely mainly on the narrow-junction Zener effect.
