In a reverse bias higher than the break down voltage.

False, a zener diode is normally operated reverse biased in breakdown.
zener resistance of a zener diode is the resistance of the zener diode but which is the resistance of a diode
Zener diode is heavily doped pn junction diode.
A zener diode cannot be used as switch.
Dr. Clarence Melvin Zener of Southern Illinois University invented the zener diode.
zener diode is a revers bias diode which used for voltage regulation.
A: They are both diodes. The difference lies in the application. A rectifier is used to rectify AC current into pulsating current. The zener diode is used to regulate a voltage source to the zener voltage when connected in the reverse direction. ************************************************************** If you look at the characteristic curves of a rectifier diode and a zener diode, you will see that they are similar, but the reverse curve of the zener has a much sharper bend at what is called the "knee". It is at this point on the zener's curve at which it operates.
The leakage current of a (zener) diode is the current that leaks when a diode is connected in reverse biased.
The leakage current of a (zener) diode is the current that leaks when a diode is connected in reverse biased.
The difference between the pn-junction diode and the zener diode is that the pn-junction diode is used for rectification while the zener diode is used for rectification and stabilization. Also, the zener diode can function in the breakdown region while the pn-juntion diode can not function in that regime.
Since they are in parallel, the 3.3V zener diode will "kick in" first when you reach 3.3V, and the circuit will pretty much act the same as if the 7V zener diode isn't there at all.
