← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when avalanche breakdown damages automotive LED headlights?
A)Excessive reverse current permanently flows✓
B)Forward voltage decreases gradually over time
C)LED forward current remains stable
D)Thermal runaway is reliably prevented
💡 Explanation
Sustained avalanche breakdown generates carriers because impact ionization rapidly increases reverse current, creating permanent damage: rather than self-correcting, this high current flow permanently shorts the diode well below its rated reverse voltage; therefore, forward operation subsequently fails.
