Description

A Zener diode can limit the voltage across it, making it a voltage regulator! In this video, let's explore how a Zener diode can be used to regulate voltage. We are going use it's reverse breakdown characteristics.

Class 12 Physics (India)

It is now time to dive deeper into the world of physics with topics from class 12 (NCERT) such as electrostatics, electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic induction, and electromagnetic waves. Let's also learn more about light with ray optics and wave optics. Finally, let's look at what happened in the last hundred years of physics by getting introduced to quantum mechanics with dual nature of radiation and matter, atoms, nuclei, and semiconductors.

Zener diode

We usually don't like a diode to undergo reverse breakdown in any circuit. But a special diode called 'Zener diode' is used exclusively in its reverse breakdown region. In this section, we will explore what's special about these so-called 'Zener diodes' and look at its application.
