Question

Zener break down will occur if

Easy
Solution

(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.
