As the breakdown voltage reached, the DIAC exhibits?

Correct answer: D. All of these

  • A. Negative resistance characteristics
  • B. Goes into avalanche condition
  • C. Voltage drop snaps back
  • D. All of these

Explanation

At its breakover voltage, a DIAC enters avalanche conduction, its voltage drops sharply, and its current-voltage curve shows a negative-resistance region. Thus all three described effects occur.
