| Jan 18, 2014 at 13:55 | comment | added | Rajath Radhakrishnan | @JohnRennie Although the graph clearly shows that after the breakdown voltage the voltage remains constant can you please explain what happens at the microscopic level which result in this constant voltage? | |
| Nov 12, 2013 at 20:14 | comment | added | user108262 | Ahhhh I see, I see. So Right, I always got why it had to be above a certain value, but the graph clearly shows it's basically forward voltage in reverse! Thanks man, you offered much clarity, and the text books really should show this graph and just say it's the same god damn thing but backwards (albeit with a very minor difference). Thanks again :) James | |
