Options

A. current remains constant while voltage increases sharply
B. voltage remains constant while current increases sharply
C. current and voltage increase
D. current and voltage decrease

Answer

B

Explanation

In a reverse biased p-n junction, when the applied bias voltage is equal to the breakdown voltage, then voltage remains constant while current increases sharply.
