Zener diode is used to regulate the voltage supply because, while using a Zener diode
- A voltage remains constant, even when current varies much
- B Both voltage and current remain constant
- C voltage varies much, but current remains constant
- D Both voltage and current vary together
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) voltage remains constant, even when current varies much
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In a Zener diode, voltage across it remains constant even when current varies much or wide range. This property of the Zener diode is used to regulate the voltage supply.
