Zener diode is used as

A

Half wave rectifier

B

Full wave rectifier

C

ac voltage stabilizer

D

dc voltage stabilizer

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When unregulated voltage i.e. output of rectifier filter connected with zener diode and series resistance .
Then output remains same ( i.e. regulated dc output )
