Question

Zener diode is a ___________ doped PN junction diode and connected in ___________ bias in the circuit.

A.

lightly, forward

B.

lightly, reversed

C.

heavily, forward

D.

heavily, reversed

Correct option is D

A Zener diode is a PN junction diode that is heavily doped on both the P-side and the N-side of the junction. This heavy doping leads to a very thin depletion region and a high electric field at the junction. When a reverse bias voltage is applied, the Zener diode breaks down at a specific voltage, and it's used in circuits in reverse bias. a
