In breakdown region, zener behaves like a
Correct answer: B. Constant voltage
- A. Constant current
- B. Constant voltage
- C. Constant resistance
- D. None of them
Explanation
Because once the reverse voltage reaches the Zener breakdown voltage, the voltage across the diode stays nearly constant even if the current changes significantly.

About Electronics
A p-n junction forms when p-type and n-type semiconductor regions meet, creating a depletion layer, barrier potential and rectifying action. The work covers forward and reverse bias, junction current, diode characteristics, and how a diode converts alternating current into pulsating direct current through half-wave and full-wave rectification.
