Zener predicatively will break down at a voltage as manufactured and sustain that voltage as long as the source can provide the current. The limitation is the zener power dissipation for each device. It Regulates by maintaining that breakdown voltage until its current is reduced or its break down voltage is reduced.
What else can I help you with?
What do you understand by zener diode?
It is a voltage regulator
Is it pn junction diode used as voltage regulator?
zener diode
How do you xxplain the zener shunt regulator?
zener diode is a special type of pn junction diode that work in breakdown region . There are two types of brekdowns in zener i.e avlanche breakdown and zener breakdown depending on the doping concentration. A zener diode in an on state can be considered as a voltage source ,equal to its zener voltage n hence act as an voltage regulator
What is the function of zener dioed?
The function of a zener diode is for it to act as a voltage regulator in the breakdown region.
Which region zener diode can be used as regulator?
Reverse Bias
How do you find the value of a zener diode?
It is depend on your requirement .suppose you need a voltage regulator of 5V than you need 5V Zener diode.
Can zener diode be used as fan regulaters?
A: NOT VERY WELL a zener requires to support booths its breakdown current and the fan current essentially the zener is a voltage regulator not a current regulator
What is Zener resistance of the Zener diode?
zener resistance of a zener diode is the resistance of the zener diode but which is the resistance of a diode
How does voltage regulator works?
A Voltage Regulator is just a Zener Diode that is wired across the alternator terminals. ... no. Doing this will blow the zener - don't try it at home or anywhere else.

When operating as a voltage regulator the breakdown in a Zener diode occurs due to which effect?
avalanche
What is the smallest load resistor that can be used and still maintain regulation in zener diode regulator?
The smallest load resistor that can be used while maintaining regulation in a zener diode regulator is determined by the zener diode's minimum load current (I_Z(min)) and the zener voltage (V_Z). The load resistor (R_L) must be calculated using Ohm's law, where R_L = V_Z / I_L, ensuring that I_L is at least equal to I_Z(min) to keep the zener in the breakdown region. If the load current falls below this threshold, the zener diode will not regulate the output voltage effectively.
