You do not want to replace diodes with zener diodes. They are not the same type of device, and the design objective is not the same.

What is symbols of zener diode?

Usual symbol for diode is with a triangle - looking as an arrow hinged with a vertical line. Arrow head stands for anode for diode and line stands for its cathode. To give the symbol for zener diode we simply replace the vertical line by letter Z which also symbolizes the first designer 'Zener'


Who invented the zener diode?

Dr. Clarence Melvin Zener of Southern Illinois University invented the zener diode.


Is it can say as a 4.9v zener diode If you connect seven 0.7v silicon diodes in forward bias in series?

When the design says 4.9v zener diode that is all I would put. The more complicated an alternative you try the more things that can go wrong. A silicon diode is not the same as a zener diode, and cannot be used to replace a zener, with reasonable expectation that the circuit will continue to operate as designed.


What is the function of zener?

zener diode is a revers bias diode which used for voltage regulation.


What is the leakage current of zener diode?

The leakage current of a (zener) diode is the current that leaks when a diode is connected in reverse biased.


What is leakage current of zener diode?

The leakage current of a (zener) diode is the current that leaks when a diode is connected in reverse biased.


What is the difference between p n junction and zener diode?

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.
