Why is there a sudden increase in current in Zener diode?(a) Due to the rupture of ionic bonds(b) Due to rupture of covalent bonds(c) Due to viscosity(d) Due to potential differenceI got this question in quiz.My question comes from Semiconductor Diode in section Semiconductor Electronics : Materials, Devices and Simple Circuits of Physics – Class 12

Answer» CORRECT choice is (b) Due to rupture of covalent BONDS

Easiest EXPLANATION: The sudden increase in CURRENT in a ZENER diode is due to the rupture of the many covalent bonds present. Therefore, the Zener diode should be connected in reverse bias.
