The graph given below represents I - V characteristics of zener diode. The part of the characteristics curve that is most relevant for its operation as a voltage regulator is
- A ab
- B bc
- C cd
- D de
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) de
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The part 'de' represents the Zener breakdown region, where the voltage remains nearly constant despite significant changes in current, making it suitable for voltage regulation. de
