What happens during regulation action of a zener diode.
1)The current in and voltage across the zener remains fixed.
2)The current through the series
Resistance (Rs) , fixed so that load current `I_(L)` ,will be constant.
3)The zener resistance is constant.
4)The resistance offered by the Zener changes.
