What happens during regualtion action of a Zener diode?

A

The current in and voltage across the Zener remains fixed

B

The current through the series Resistance `(R_(s))` changes

C

The Zener resistance is constant

D

The resistance offered by the Zener changs

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, D
During regulation action of a zener diode, the current through the series resistance charges and resistance offered by the zener changes. The current through the zener changes but the voltage across the zener remains constant.
