Answer 2

Answer:

The voltage where current may start to flow in a reverse-biased p-n junction is called the breakdown voltage.

Explanation:

• The breakdown voltage is the threshold voltage at which the onset of breakdown occurs.
• However, before the current can flow, the open gap voltage increases until it creates an ionization path through the dielectric.
• As soon as the current begins to flow, the voltage drops and stabilizes at the level of the working gap.
