A series resistance is connected in the zener circuit to_______________?
Correct answer: B. protect the zener
- A. properly reverse bias the zener
- B. protect the zener
- C. properly forward bias the zener
- D. none of the above
Explanation
The series resistor limits the current through the zener when it operates in breakdown, preventing excessive dissipation and damage. It does not provide the reverse bias itself.
