Consider the following statements (A) and (B) and identify the correct answer. A Zener diode is connected in reverse bias, when used as a voltage regulator. The potential barrier of p-n junction lies between to
(A) and (B) both are correct.
(A) and (B) both are incorrect.
(A) is correct and (B) is incorrect.
(A) is incorrect but (B) is correct.
To solve this problem, we need to evaluate the correctness of statements (A) and (B).Statement (A):A Zener diode is connected in reverse bias, when used as a voltage regulator.• A Zener diode is specifically designed to operate in the reverse breakdown region.• When used as a voltage regulator, it is indeed connected in reverse bias.• This allows the Zener diode to maintain a constant output voltage despite variations in the input voltage or load conditions.Therefore, statement (A) is correct.
