A zener diode is :
- A is designed to operate under reverse bias in the breakdown region
- B is fabricated by lightly doping p-side of the junction and heavily doping n-side of the junction
- C is used as a rectifier
- D always forward biased
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) is designed to operate under reverse bias in the breakdown region
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Why A is correct: Unlike standard diodes, Zener diodes are heavily doped to have a specific, controlled breakdown voltage. They are designed to operate safely in the reverse breakdown region to maintain a constant voltage. A) is designed to operate under reverse bias in the…
