A Zener diode undergoes breakdown for an electric field of 106 V m-1 at the depletion region of p-n junction. If the width of the depletion region is 2.5μm , what should be the reverse-biased potential for the breakdown to occur?

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Reverse biased potential for the zener breakdown

Vr=Ed=106×2.5×10-6=2.5volt
