What happens in the circuit when a1N4001 diode experiences its breakdown voltage of 50V?

If a diode breaks down in the reverse direction then, providing there is current-limiting resistance, nothing will happen to the diode.
If there is no such current-limiting resistance the diode will be destroyed. Heat is the only enemy of a semiconductor of this type.

What is voltage error circuit and current error circuit?
A voltage error circuit is called an error amplifier and happens when there are discrepancies between the voltage output and the reference voltage. A current error circuit happens when there is a disruption of flow in an ammeter.
What happens when the parts of the circuit are properly connected?
oppen circuit
What happens to the potential difference of a bulb that burns out in series circuit?
The whole circuit fails - because the action of the bulb blowing cuts the circuit.
What happens in a series circuit if the resistance is halved?
If you add a second resistor, the resistance of series circuit will increase.
What happens to current in a series circuit?
the current in series will be same..
What happens if wire insulation is weak?
Depending on the voltage potential that the wire is carrying, an insulation breakdown could lead to a short circuit. If this condition occurs then the circuits over current protection should trip the circuit off line.
What happens when CFC's breakdown?
When CFc's breakdown, they release Chlorine. It reacts with ozone and deplete it.
How will you differentiate the diodes whether it is Zener or avalanche when you are given two diodes of rating 6.2 v and 24V?
Zener breakdown happens at low voltages, whereas avalanche breakdown happens at higher voltages. So diode with 6.2v is having zener breakdown rest is avalanche breakdown in this case.
How do you forget bitter experiences?
by thinking that whatever happens,happens for the best.
What happens to zener current after the breakdown voltage is reached?
After breakdown voltage is reached in a zener diode the current increases drastically.
What happens to most of the from the breakdown of food?
We concentrate on glucose breakdown, since it dominates energy production in most animal cells.
What happens when a circuit closes?
when a circuit is closed, electricity can move though it.
What happens when a circuit is closed?
when a circuit is closed, electricity can move though it.
What happens to most of energy from breakdown of food?
We concentrate on glucose breakdown, since it dominates energy production in most animal cells.
What happens if there is a break in a series circuit?
The series circuit becomes an open circuit because there is no remaining path.
What happens if a wire breaks?
The circuit stops working because of the short circuit
What happens in a circuit if you increase the voltage of the battery driving it?
The power in the circuit will increase.
