A zener diode is always_______________ connected?
Correct answer: A. reverse
- A. reverse
- B. forward
- C. either reverse or forward
- D. none of the above
Explanation
A zener diode is normally operated in its reverse-breakdown region, where it maintains an approximately constant voltage. Forward bias makes it behave like an ordinary diode rather than a zener regulator.
