Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their reverse breakdown region, but Zener diodes are the exception to this rule. Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their ...

Suppose the zener diode on the circuit has a breakdown voltage of 10 V. What are the minimum and maximum zener currents? The applied voltage may vary from 20 to 40 V. Ideally, a zener diode acts like ...

This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in ...
