Which consequence results when exceeding voltage limits on a Zener diode?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding voltage limits causes avalanche breakdown because minority carriers gain enough energy to ionize other atoms, therefore reverse current sharply increases, rather than capacitance changes or temperature sensitivities because impact ionization in the band structure dominates.
