Explain how the current through a diode changes as the reverse bias voltage approaches and exceeds the reverse breakdown voltage (V_Rmax).

19

Multiple Choice

2

The current decreases rapidly in the reverse direction.

3

The diode may be damaged and will no longer operate as a one-way valve.

4

The forward voltage drop increases.
