For increasing the voltage rating, zeners are connected in_____________?
Correct answer: C. Series
- A. Parallel
- B. Series-parallel
- C. Series
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Zener diodes are connected in series so their individual breakdown voltages add, allowing the combination to withstand and regulate a higher voltage. Parallel connection mainly increases current-handling capacity, not voltage rating.
