Question

The incorrect statement about a Zener diode is

• A. It is heavily doped
• B. The depletion region formed in it is very thick
• C. The electric field at its junction is extremely high
• D. In general, in a circuit it is reverse biased

Hint:

Remember the important properties of a Zener diode: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} &\text{Heavy doping}, &\text{Thin depletion region}, &\text{High electric field}, &\text{Operated in reverse bias}. \end{aligned} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
