Correct Answer
C. Once the avalanche point has been reachedExplanation
Once the avalanche point has been reached, a zener diode will start to conduct in reverse bias. This is because at the avalanche point, the electric field across the depletion region becomes strong enough to cause the generation of electron-hole pairs through the process of impact ionization. This leads to a rapid increase in the reverse current flowing through the diode, allowing it to conduct. Therefore, once the avalanche point is reached, the zener diode will conduct in reverse bias.Rate this question:
