zener diode is a revers bias diode which used for voltage regulation.
A: There is no formula it is a comparison of the zener diode voltage to the other input when one exceed the other the comparator will change state on the output and decreasing will return to the previous state
to limit the voltage or regulate the same.

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.
If the zener diode is in zener breakdown the voltage across the zener diode remains constant regardless of current (for the ideal zener diode). Real zener diodes have parasitic resistance that causes the voltage across the zener diode to increase slightly with increased current, but due to temperature dependant variations in this parasitic resistance as well as temperature dependant variations in the zener breakdown voltage, this change in voltage in real zener diodes cannot be described by a simple linear factor.

A zener diode cannot be used as switch.
Dr. Clarence Melvin Zener of Southern Illinois University invented the zener diode.

Zener impedance is calculated, like anything else, with Ohm's law. Take voltage and divide by current, and you get resistance (or impedance). The only thing special about a zener is that it is not linear, and you can not expect the impedance to remain the same if you change the voltage or current. In fact, the primary characteristic of a zener is that the voltage is relatively constant over the specified current range so, in effect, the zener is a dynamic resistor or, more correctly, a mostly-independent voltage load.
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.
