Which risk increases when rapid inductor discharge occurs across a reverse-biased diode?

💡 Explanation

Excessive reverse recovery current is likely because of inductive kickback. The reverse recovery mechanism causes high current spikes as the diode attempts to switch off rapidly, therefore inducing large voltages, rather than a managed voltage change affecting thermal threshold.
