In the breakdown region, a zener didoe behaves like a _______________source?

Correct answer: A. constant voltage

  • A. constant voltage
  • B. constant current
  • C. constant resistance
  • D. none of the above

Explanation

In breakdown, a zener diode holds its voltage nearly constant over a range of current, so it is modeled approximately as a constant-voltage source. It is not a constant-current source because its current varies with the circuit load.
