Semiconducting Devices Question 233
Question: Zener diode is used as
[CBSE PMT 1999]
Options:
A) Half wave rectifier
B) Full wave rectifier
C) ac voltage stabilizer
D) dc voltage stabilizer
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
For a wide range of values of load resistance, the current in the zener diode may change but the voltage across it remains unaffected.
Thus the output voltage across the zener diode is a regulated voltage.
