Semiconductors Question 12

Question 12 - 01 February - Shift 2

Choose the correct statement about Zener diode:

(1) It works as a voltage regulator in reverse bias and behaves like simple pn junction diode in forward bias.

(2) It works as a voltage regulator in both forward and reverse bias.

(3) It works a voltage regulator only in forward bias.

(4) It works as a voltage regulator in forward bias and behaves like simple pn junction diode in reverse bias.

Show Answer

Answer: (1)

Solution:

Woks as voltage regulator in reverse bias and as simple P-n junction in forward bias.
