A zener diode is________________ device?
Correct answer: A. a non-linear
- A. a non-linear
- B. a linear
- C. an amplifying
- D. none of the above
Explanation
A zener diode has a nonlinear voltage-current characteristic, especially around its breakdown region. Therefore it cannot be treated as a linear or amplifying device.
