What is Breakdown voltage ?

There is a double-layer cylindrical capacitor whose parameters are shoen in Fig. The breakdown field strength values for these dielectrics are equal to E_(1) and E_(2) respectively. What is the breakdown voltage of this capacitor if epsilon_(1) R_(1) E_(1) lt epsilon_(2) R_(2) E_(2) ?

Two Zener diodes having specification 12V, 1/4W are connected in series. If breakdown voltage of each diode is 5V, then what is the breakdown voltage in the series combination of the diodes?

A zener diode has a breakdown voltage of 10 V and is used in a voltage regulator circuit as shown in the given figure what will be current through the diode

How reverse current suddenly increase at the breakdown voltage in case of zener diode?

Three capacitors each of capacitance C and of breakdown voltage V are joined in series. The capacitance and of breakdown voltage of the combination will be :

Why zener breakdown voltage decreases with increase in temperature?

Suppose an unregulated D.C. input voltage V_(1) is applied to a Zener diode having breakdown voltage (V_(z)) . Then the breakdown condition for the diode to work as voltage regulator is
