This about PN Junctions of semiconductors.
Here are some statements about a p-n junction diode. Some are TRUE and some are FALSE. i. Applying a negative bias to the p-side and a positive bias to the n-side allows a forward current flow. ii. When the p-n junction is under reverse bias, the Fermi level is continuous across the junction. iii. The forward bias current is made up of holes from the p-side and electrons from the n-side flowing across the junction. iv. Under reverse bias, you can get minority electrons flowing from the p-side to the n-side of the junction. v.

The Zener Diode permits current to flow in the forward direction as normal, but will also allow it to flow in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain value - the breakdown voltage known as the Zener voltage. In breakdown, the voltage across the Zener diode is close to constant over a wide range of currents. In what specific case this kind of characteristic is useful? Give at least 3 examples where a Zener Diode is useful. State a scenario if possible for a clearer answer.
