Zener Regulation with a varying load?
Zener diodes attempt to keep terminal voltage constant. If the load is fairly small, a single zener diode can be used for this purpose. If the load is large enough that the zener cannot hold the voltage within desired margins, I suggest using the zener to control the base of a power transistor; the emitter or collector (depending on transistor type) will be used as the output to the load.
Can a zener diode be used in place of ic 7805?
no, zener diode regulators can supply no more than a few tens of milliamperes to a load while maintaining stable regulation. a 7805 three terminal linear regulator IC is designed to provide up to 1 ampere to a load while maintaining stable regulation.Note: three terminal linear regulators like the 7805 already contain an internal zener diode acting as a voltage reference, but its internal load is only 1 or 2 milliamperes to keep it very stable.
Why the zener current taken five times the load current in zener diode as voltage regulator?
A: There is no X times current for a zener to regulate. The real limit is the zener power dissipation that determine the total current since the zener to regulate must carry its own breakdown current in addition to the load current when the load is absent . IF this is not taken in consideration the zener will surely burn out
How a zener diode can be used as a voltage regulator?
A: A zener diode is manufacture to reverse breakdown at a certain voltage this voltage will remain almost constant no matter how much more voltage is available [within operating parameters]. this zener must be able to sustain both itself operating currents plus the load
What is Zener diode function?
Zener diodes are widely used as voltage references and as shunt regulators to regulate the voltage across small circuits. When connected in parallel with a variable voltage source so that it is reverse biased, aZener diode conducts when the voltage reaches the diode's reverse breakdown voltage.
Discussion of zener diode a voltage regulation?
A zener diode has a relatively flat voltage to current curve when reverse biased. Within limits, you can consider that the voltage across the zener diode is constant. You can use the zener as the primary regulator, so long as you consider the power requirements and dissipation of both the zener and the load, and you do not overload the zener. More often, the zener is used as a voltage reference in a larger power supply that uses other components, linear or switched, to supply the load.
What is the difference between regulated IC and the zener diode?
a zener regulator must sustain its own current to function plus the load currents IC regulator on the other hand will require very little current to sustain regulation plus there is a gain regulation that a zener do not have.

How is the zener diode connected to protect the load?
A: A zener is a diode that if reversed voltage is applied will conduct at a certain voltage. This diode zener therefore will conduct at a preset voltage limiting the over voltage to the diode conducting voltage and no more so the load can see the voltage up to the zener voltage and no more because the zener will sink the extra current from over voltage situation.
What is application of zener diode?
A: It can have two function one is to provide a known voltage drop to a series circuit. The other is to provide voltage regulation across a load.
From theory you will remember that the zener diode is used in the?
Provided the zener has enough current through it it will control the voltage for a load.

Which type of circuit is used in zener diode?
A Zener diode is typically used in a reverse-bias configuration within a voltage regulation circuit. This circuit ensures that the Zener diode maintains a constant output voltage, even when the input voltage or load conditions vary. It is often implemented in simple power supplies to provide stable reference voltages or to protect sensitive components from overvoltage conditions.
What is the purpose of a zener diode when placed near the output in a common power suplly?
The purpose of a zener diode connected at the output of a common supply is to stabilize the output voltage in case a load is connected to it.
How a zener diode is used in voltage regulator under both varying input and varying load condition?
In the varying input condition, the zener diode is used in such a that any variation in the input voltage,should not in any affect the load (that is the arrangement supplies just the voltage needed by the load no matter how high or low the supply voltage might go). In the varying load condition, the zener diode is connected in such a way that any change in the load voltage should not affect the input voltage.
Why the zener current taken five times the load current in zener diode as voltage regulator?

How do you reduce dc voltage using zener diode?
To reduce DC voltage with a zener diode you place a resistor in series with the zener and setup for the reverse bias condition. You pick the resistor to bias the zener at the desired reverse current. You also have to consider the load across the resistor, across the zener, and across the target load. Often, this configuration is used to establish a reference voltage for something else, such as an op-amp controlled emitter-follower, but it is possible to use just the resistor and zener if you consider all the factors.
