What happens during regualtion action of a Zener diode?

A

The current 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 change.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, D

During regulation action of a Zener diode, the current through the `R_(s)` changes and reistance offered by the Zener changes. The current through the Zener change but the voltage across the Zener remains constant.
