NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 12
Consider a diagram showing a p-n junction under reverse bias. Which of the following statements accurately describes the behavior of the diode as it approaches breakdown voltage?
A
The reverse current remains constant until breakdown.
B
The reverse current decreases with increased voltage.
C
The reverse current increases sharply at breakdown voltage.
D
The diode conducts like a forward-biased diode at breakdown.
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
As per the NCERT context, at breakdown voltage (V br), the diode reverse current increases sharply, indicating a significant rise in current once breakdown is achieved.
