Which consequence results when excessive reverse voltage damages Zener diode capacitors?

💡 Explanation

Significant leakage current immediately appears because *reverse avalanche breakdown* irreversibly damages the Zener diode's structure creating conduction pathways; therefore higher current flow occurs, rather than a trivial voltage decrease or related non-conduction effects.
