Question:

Zener diode work on –

Options:

zero bias

reverse bias

forward bias

infinite bias

Correct Answer:

reverse bias

Explanation:

Zener diode works on the reverse bias. When the reverse bias is equal to the breakdown voltage, the voltage across the zener remains almost constant and the current increases rapidly.
