Questions  

Zener break down will occur if

a
impurity level is low
b
impurity level is high
c
impurity level is less in n - side
d
impurity level is less in p - side

detailed solution

Correct option is B

(2)In a highly doped p - n junction, thickness of depletion layer is very small. As a result intensity of electric field with in the depletion layer is very high and this highly intense electric field directly pulls electron from co-valent bonds and Zener break down takes place.
