Mention the use of a Zener diode.
(N/A) Zener diode is primarily used as a voltage regulator.
It is designed to operate in the reverse breakdown region without being damaged.
When connected in parallel with a load,it maintains a constant output voltage across the load,even if the input voltage or the load current varies,provided the input voltage remains above the Zener breakdown voltage.
