Zener diode use for ….

A

amplification

B

rectification

C

stablisation

D

oscillator

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
stablisation
Some reverse bias voltage and current flows from the zener diode and so the voltage of the load resistance is maintained and that is why it is used in te voltage regulator.
