Which of the following circuit diagram of p – n junction diode is (i) forward bias and in (ii) reverse bias:
    

The reverse current in a Zener diode starts increasing suddenly at a relatively low breakdown voltage of $5 \mathrm{V}$ or so. Is this statement true or false?

Explain the formation of potential barriers in a p-n junction.

What is the significance of breakdown voltage?

Explain the mechanism of reverse breakdown in p-n junction diode.

What is the reverse break down voltage in p-n junction diode?

What is reverse break down of diode?

In a p-n junction diode;

Differentiate between the term breakdown voltage and Threshold voltage.

Beyond the threshold voltage, resistance offered by the diode is:

What is the current through an ideal $PN$-Junction diode shown in the figure below:-

Two identical PN junction are joined in series with a battery shown below. For which potential drop is same.

Two identical $p-n$ junctions may be connected in series with a battery in three ways. The potential difference across the two $p-n$ junctions are equal in

In a P-N junction, current can go from N side to P side but not from P side to N side.

The circuit shown below contains two ideal diodes, each with a forward resistance of $50 \mathrm{\Omega }.$ If the battery voltage is $6 \mathrm{V},$ the current through the $100 \mathrm{\Omega }$ resistance (in amperes) is:

 

In reverse bias of a p-n junction diode, the reverse current is very small and is voltage independent upto certain reverse bias voltage, known as

Define breakdown voltage of a diode in reverse bias.

What do you mean by reverse breakdown of diode in reverse bias?

In figure, ${\mathrm{V}}_0$ is the potential barrier across a $\mathrm{p}-\mathrm{n}$ junction, when no battery is connected across the junction.

In the given circuit, Current through the battery is :-
