Which consequence results when bias induces interband tunneling?

💡 Explanation

The Zener diode conducts because the large electric field enables electrons to tunnel across the band gap, called Zener tunneling. Therefore, current drastically increases, rather than linearly decreasing Ohmic resistance which lacks the tunneling requirement.
