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.
