Question 7

The voltage drop of the zener diode is ____________________.

Accepted Answer

constant

Question 8

What is the voltage drop of a device connected parallel to a zener diode?

Accepted Answer

Since the voltage drop of the zener diode is constant, any device connected parallel to the zener will have a constant voltage drop even if the current through the load is changing.
