A Zener diode when used as a voltage regulator is connected (a) in forward bias (b) in reverse bias ( c) in parallel to the load (d) in series to the load.

Assertion (A): Zener diode is used as a voltage regulator. Reason (R ): Zener diode operated in reverse biased condition.

Assertion : Zener diode is used to obtain voltage regulation Reason : When Zener diode is operated in reverse bias, after a certain voltage (breakdown voltage) the current suddenly increases.

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)=4kOmega the series resistance of the circuit is R_(i)=1kOMega . if the battery voltage V_(B) varies from 8 V to 16 V, what are the minimum and maximum values of the currect through Zener diode?

The voltage drop across a forward biased diode is 0.7 volt. In the following circuit, the voltages across the 10 ohm resistance in series with the diode and 20 ohm resistance are :
