A zener diode is destroyed if it______________?
Correct answer: C. carrier more than rated current
- A. is forward biased
- B. is reverse biased
- C. carrier more than rated current
- D. none of the above
Explanation
A zener diode can operate safely in reverse bias only up to its rated current and power. Exceeding the rated current causes excessive heating and can destroy the junction.
