Zener diodes with breakdown voltage ranging over \((2~\text{V}\text-200~\text{V})\) are commercially available. The breakdown voltage of a Zener diode:

1. increases with increasing doping concentration.
2. decreases with increasing doping concentration.
3. does not depend on doping concentration.
4. may increase or decrease with increasing doping concentration.

The input to a Zener diode circuit is an AC-voltage along with a DC:    \(V_i=(20~\text V)\sin\omega t+(20~\text V)~\)
Current flows through the diode:
                      
1. continuously, in both directions
2. continuously, only in one direction
3. intermittently, in both directions
4. intermittently, only in one direction

The voltage across \(AB\) i.e., \(V_{AB}\) is varied from \(0\) V to \(12\) V. The current through branch \(XY~(i)\) is measured. Then:
                  
1. \(i=0.05\) A if \(V_{AB}\geq10\) V and \(i=\dfrac{V_{AB}}{200~\Omega}\) otherwise
2. \(i=0.05\) A if \(V_{AB}\leq10\) V and \(i=\dfrac{V_{AB}}{200~\Omega}\) otherwise
3. \(i=0.05\) A
4. \(i=\dfrac{V_{AB}}{200~\Omega}\)

Choose the incorrect statement about light-emitting diodes (LED):

1. This is a \(\mathrm{p\text-n}\) junction in forward biasing.
2. Usually, it is prepared from Gallium-arsenide-phosphide.
3. It can be prepared from \(\mathrm{Si}\) or \(\mathrm{Ge}\).
4. \(\mathrm{p}\)-layer is kept in the uppermost portion.
