In a Zener voltage regulator, the changes in load current produce changes in _________________?

Correct answer: A. Zener current

  • A. Zener current
  • B. Zener voltage
  • C. Zener voltage as well as Zener current
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

In the regulation region, the Zener voltage remains nearly constant, so a change in load current is mainly balanced by an opposite change in Zener current. This is the shunt regulator’s basic operating principle.
