Question

1) ( Avalanche/Zener) breakdown is caused by collision
2) when a Zener Diode is used as a voltage regulator, it must be connected in ( reverse/forward) bias in a circuit.
3) the diode equation is given as: i=Is(eqv/nkT -1)
If the value of n is 2, a ( Gemanium / silicon) -type semiconductor is used.

Answer 1

1. Avalanche breakdown is caused by collision
2. when a Zener Diode is used as a voltage regulator, it must be connected in reverse bias in a circuit.
3. If the value of n is 2, a Germanium-type semiconductor is used.
