The critical value of the voltage, at which the breakdown of a P-N junction diode occurs is called the breakdown voltage.The breakdown voltage depends on the width of the depletion region, which, in turn, depends on the doping level. The junction offers almost zero resistance at the breakdown point.

What is the forward breakdown voltage for in4007 diode?
there is no forward breakdown voltage for any diode
What is the breakdown voltage of 1N4007 diode?
The reverse breakdown voltage of the 1N4007 diode is 1000 volts.
Does the material of the diode depends on break down voltage?
A Germanium diode has a much lower breakdown voltage than a silicone diode.
Why does a rectifier diode is not operated in breakdown voltage?
The breakdown voltage of a diode is the minimum voltage at which it conducts in both directions. If you have a 100-volt rectifier diode (1N4002) and you wire it into a 110v circuit, it will flow current in both directions and you'll get no rectification.
What happens to zener current after the breakdown voltage is reached?
After breakdown voltage is reached in a zener diode the current increases drastically.

Why breakdown occurs in diode?
Normally too higher voltage burns the diode.
Why does a rectifier diode is not operated in breakdown voltage?
The breakdown voltage of a diode is the minimum voltage at which it conducts in both directions. If you have a 100-volt rectifier diode (1N4002) and you wire it into a 110v circuit, it will flow current in both directions and you'll get no rectification.
Does zener diode works after breakdown voltage?
Yes. The intended use of a zener diode is to be reverse biased at the breakdown voltage. In this mode, the zener has high slope in the current to voltage curve, making it a good choice for voltage regulation.
What happens to zener current after the breakdown voltage is reached?
After breakdown voltage is reached in a zener diode the current increases drastically.
Can zener diode used as rectifier?
Yes **************************************** Yes they can but there are pitfalls. A normal diode will have a high reverse breakdown voltage. A zener has a relatively low breakdown voltage (its "zener"voltage). If a zener diode is used as a rectifier it must have a zener voltage at least twice the peak of the applied a.c.
Define rms reverse voltage of a diode?
A DIODE will breakdown at a certain reverse voltage if RMS VOLTAGE IS SPECIFIED THEN the actual voltage will be RMS volts times 1.41
What will a Zener diode do at breakdown voltage?
A Zener Diode will continue to show its breakdown characteristics until it gets fried...for example a 5 volt zener will get fried at a breakdown voltage of about 6 volts..this happens because of the large amount of current flowing through the small diode which unfortunately the diode cannot handle.
Are diode forward and zener voltages the same?
A: Both diodes have the same curve in the forward direction however if the zener voltage is reverse it will breakdown at a particular voltage and remain conducting at the voltage. A regular diode will not do that the to voltage will fold back after breakdown to any voltage
When biased correctly a zener diode acts as?
a diode and it has a constant voltage across it ANSWER: acts as a voltage regulator if enough current flows to create a breakdown voltage.
