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 shunt regulator?
A shunt regulator is a type of voltage regulation circuit that maintains a constant output voltage by diverting excess current away from the load. It typically consists of a zener diode and a resistor; the zener diode conducts when the input voltage exceeds its breakdown voltage, allowing it to shunt excess current. This configuration provides stable voltage regulation for low-power applications but is less efficient at higher currents compared to series voltage regulators. Shunt regulators are commonly used in applications where precise voltage control is required without significant power loss.
What do you understand by zener diode?
It is a voltage regulator
What is the zener point?
A diode (some people incorrectly call them rectifiers) is a semiconductor device that allows a current to flow in one direction. A Zener diode allows a reverse to current to flow at a defined voltage. A common application for them is as a voltage regulator. Named for C M Zener , US Physicist. A zener diode is a diode and like all diodes it will conduct in both directions. If a reversed voltage is applied it will breakdown and conduct current. Most diodes when they breakdown the reversed voltage cannot be predictable. However a zener diode when they do breakdown in the reverse voltage mode that voltage can be made as predictable and remain +/- % of the breakdown voltage. Therefore this steady voltage can be used as a regulator for instance or a definite voltage drop if need be.
Which region zener diode can be used as regulator?
Reverse Bias
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.

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 do you understand by zener diode?
It is a 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.

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.
