MCQ
Zener diode is used as
- AHalf wave rectifier
- BFull wave rectifier
- ✓$ac$ voltage stabilizer
- D$dc $ voltage stabilizer
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$ac$ voltage stabilizer
c
(c)For a wide range of values of load resistance, the current in the zener diode may change but the voltage across it remains unaffected. Thus the output voltage across the zener diode is a regulated voltage.
