When load current is zero, the Zener current will be_____________?

Correct answer: C. Maximum

  • A. Zero
  • B. Minimum
  • C. Maximum
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

With zero load current, the source current flows almost entirely through the zener, so the zener current is maximum. As load current increases, part of the current is diverted to the load and zener current falls.
