Q. When voltage applied to a diode is more than PIV, it is likely to result in:

A
More distortion on output side
B
Poor regulation
C
Conduct in both direction
D
Breakdown at the junction
Solution:

The Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV) or Maximum Reverse Voltage is the maximum allowable Reverse operating voltage that can be applied across the diode without reverse breakdown and damage occurring to the device.
