Zener diode acts as a/an
oscillator
regulator
rectifier
filter
Zener diode is used to supply constant voltage in voltage regulator circuit hence option $(b)$ is correct.
Write short note on zener diode.
A zener diode is specified as having a breakdown voltage of $9.1 \;V$, with a maximum power dissipation of $364 \;mW$. What is the maximum current ($mA$) the diode can handle?
The figure represents a voltage regulator circuit using a Zener diode. The breakdown voltage of the Zener diode is $6\,V$ and the load resistance is $R_L= 4\,k\Omega .$ The series resistance of the circuit is $R_i = 1\,k\Omega .$ If the battery voltage $V_B$ varies from $8\,V$ to $16\,V,$ what are the minimum and maximum values of the current through Zener diode?
A zener diode in the circuit shown has a knee current of $5\,mA$ and a maximum allowed power dissipation of $300\,mW$ . What are the minimum and maximum load currents that can be drawn safely from the circuit, keeping the output voltage $V_0$ constant at $6\,volts$ ?
In a zener diode, break down occurs in reverse bias due to
