What is the purpose of a Zener diode?
Voltage regulation
What happens to load voltage and current with increased input voltage?
Remain constant
When will the Zener regulate?
If input is greater than Zener rating
What happens if the input is not greater than Zener voltage?
Zener behaves as an open
What is the difference between a zener diode and a regular diode?
Zener diodes break down at a specific voltage allowing current to flow in the reverse direction
