The breakdown voltage of an insulator is the minimum voltage that makes it partially conductive electrically. On the other hand, the breakdown voltage in a diode refers to the minimum reverse voltage to cause it to conduct in reverse.

The more voltage that is required to break down an insulator the greater its?
The more voltage that is required to break down an insulator, the greater is its
What is the break down voltage point for a zenerdiode?
The breakdown voltage point for a Zener diode is 17 volts
Break down occurs in diode because of?
reverse voltage applied
Explian action of zener diode as a regulator?
Zener predicatively will break down at a voltage as manufactured and sustain that voltage as long as the source can provide the current. The limitation is the zener power dissipation for each device. It Regulates by maintaining that breakdown voltage until its current is reduced or its break down voltage is reduced.
Does the material of the diode depends on break down voltage?
A Germanium diode has a much lower breakdown voltage than a silicone diode.
A zener diode operates in?
In a reverse bias higher than the break down voltage.
Why doesn't zener diode have negative resistance?
because of its high break down voltage.
What is the difference between cut in and break down voltage?
what is the difference between cut- in and cut -out
What do you mean by peak reverse voltage of semiconductor diode?
Peak reverse voltage of a diode is the maximum reverse bias voltage can be applied to diode which does not cause break down.
When excessive voltage is applied to a capacitor it will break down What factor of the capacitor has the greatest effect on breakdown voltage?
The dielectric material between the plates.
What is break down?
it is the minimum revers voltage at which P N Junction brake down with sudden rides in reverse current.
What is avalanche break down in scr?
A: As the reverse voltage is applied to the SCR increases at a certain point the device will start to conduct that is defined as the breakdown voltage for that device
