Question

A Zener diode acts as a

• A. The current in the reverse biased condition is generally very small
• B. The current in the reverse biased condition is small but the forward biased current is independent of the bias voltage
• C. The reverse biased current is strongly dependent on the applied bias voltage
• D. The forward biased current is very small in comparison to reverse biased current

Answer 1

The correct option is A The current in the reverse biased condition is generally very small

A Zener diode acts as a voltage stabiliser.
