MCQ
The incorrect statement about the property of a Zener diode is
  • A
    Zener voltage remains constant at breakdown
  • B
    It is designed to operate under reverse bias
  • Depletion region formed is very wide
  • D
    $p$ and $n$ regions of zener diode are heavily doped

Answer

Correct option: C.
Depletion region formed is very wide
c
For zener diode $\rightarrow$ Doping is high

Depletion region is thin

It is operated in Reverse Bias region

Zener voltage $\left( V _{ z }\right)$ is constant
