The current in a Zener diode is limited by _______________?

Correct answer: C. Both (A) and (B)

  • A. External resistance
  • B. Power dissipation
  • C. Both (A) and (B)
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

The series or external resistance limits the current entering the Zener, while the diode's power-dissipation rating limits the maximum safe current. Therefore both factors restrict Zener current.
