In a zener diode
the forward current is very high
sharp breakdown occurs at a certain reverse voltage
the ratio v-i can be negative
there are two p-n junctions
Correct Answer:
sharp breakdown occurs at a certain reverse voltage
Explanation:
When reverse voltage equals breakdown value it starts conducting and voltage does not increase further.
