Is a diode a unipolar device?
No.
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
Is zener diode a linear device?
Zener diode is not a linear device... it is non-linear one. Since linear devices are those devices which have linear characteristics(V-I CHAR.), or follows the Ohm's law i.e. voltage is directly proportional to current. but in case of Zener diode ohm's law fails down. the V-I char. in both forward biased & reverse biased condition is non-linear. So. Zener diode is non-linear device
How is zener diode different from a conventional diode or ideal diode?
zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage
What is the difference between rectifier diode and zener diode?
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.
Is a diode a unipolar device?
No.
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 replace branches of diode with zener diode?
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.
Is the pn junction diode is a bipolar or unipolar?
diode is unipolar
Is zener diode a linear device?

Since linear devices are those devices which have linear characteristics(V-I CHAR.), or follows the Ohm's law i.e. voltage is directly proportional to current. but in case of Zener diode ohm's law fails down. the V-I char. in both forward biased & reverse biased condition is non-linear. So. Zener diode is non-linear device
What is the difference between an ideal zener diode and practical zener diode?
Zener diode is heavily doped pn junction diode.

Does a zener diode acts as a switch?
A zener diode cannot be used as switch.
Who invented the zener diode?
Dr. Clarence Melvin Zener of Southern Illinois University invented the zener diode.
What is the function of zener?
zener diode is a revers bias diode which used for voltage regulation.
Is zener diode a voltage amplifier or currentlimitig circuit or osilator circuit?
The zener diode is neither a voltage amplifier nor a current limiting device but can be used in oscillator circuits to supply a constant output voltage.
