Suppose an unregulated D.C. input voltage `V_(1)` is applied to a Zener diode having breakdown voltage `(V_(z))`. Then the breakdown condition for the diode to work as voltage regulator is

A

`V_(1)ltV_(Z)`

B

`V_(1)=V_(Z)`

C

`V_(1)gtV_(Z)`

D

`V_(I)=sqrt(V_(Z))`

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

C

For breakdown condition, `V_(1)gtV_(z)`
