Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Electronic Devices and Circuits - Quiz(MCQ)
Which of the following is true about Zener diode?
A)
It is lightly doped
B)
It is used in forward bias
C)
It has avalanche breakdown
D)
It is mostly used in voltage regulator electronic circuits

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   It is mostly used in voltage regulator electronic circuits


Explanation : Zener diode is a heavily doped diode. It is used in reverse bias. It has Zener breakdown. It is used in voltage regulators because it passes an excess amount of current in breakdown mode by maintaining constant voltage across the load.
