Best Answer

it relates to reverse recovery charge, Qrr during switch off of diode.

The reverse current has to phases. 1st it reaches to max reverse recovery value , Irrm (in opposite direction of forward current), 2nd it finally reaches to zero.

Softness factor,S is the ratio of the time is needed in phase 2, t2 to the time needed in phase 1 t1, S= t2/t1

When current through a zener diode increases by a factor of 2 by what factor does the voltage across the zener diode increase?

If the zener diode is in zener breakdown the voltage across the zener diode remains constant regardless of current (for the ideal zener diode). Real zener diodes have parasitic resistance that causes the voltage across the zener diode to increase slightly with increased current, but due to temperature dependant variations in this parasitic resistance as well as temperature dependant variations in the zener breakdown voltage, this change in voltage in real zener diodes cannot be described by a simple linear factor.

How is zener diode different from a conventional diode or ideal diode?

If a DIODE or RECTIFIER can handle 1000V and 75Amps is it also safe to run the same diode at 20V and 300Amps. The first is 75000Watts and the second is only 6000Watts in theory it should work..?

No, the diode is physically rated to only 75 Amps, at voltages up to 1000V. Its not a power factor thing, the top limit is 75 Amps.
