Zener diode is a specially desined p-n junction diode, in which both p-side and n-side of p-n junction are heavily doped. The zener diode is designed especially to operate in the reverse break down voltage region continuosly without being damaged? Zener diode is used to remove the fluctuations from the given voltage and thereby provides a voltage of constant magnitude (i.e., Zener diode is used as voltage regulator).
Read the above pragraph and answer the following question:
(i) What is the most important use of Zener diode?
(ii) What are the essential conditions for proper working of Zener diode?
(iii) What do you learn from the above atudy?

Options

A. constant voltage across applied load
B. any desired current at constant voltage
C. a p-n junction working under constant regulated voltage conditions
D. a p-n junction to operate at high voltages.

Answer

A
