In a normal diode reverse bias is increased until depletion layer breaks down and diode suffers permanent damage. Zener diode is made to work in the breakdown region as long as resistor limits the current. It looks like a rectifier diode. Zener diode is used in reverse bias at itsbreakdown ...
[Afroman] is back again with another great tutorial video on the basics of electronics.This time it’s zener diodes. Page three or four of every ‘beginners guide to electronics’ covers a diode as, “a component that only allows current to flow in one direction.” This is true; a diode...
