What is zener diode ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Definition of Zener Diode**: A Zener diode is a type of semiconductor device that is heavily doped to allow it to operate in reverse bias. 2. **Special Design**: It is a specially designed junction diode that is intended to work primarily in the reverse direction, unlike regular diodes that typically only allow current to flow in one direction. ...
