What is Zener resistance of the Zener diode?
zener resistance of a zener diode is the resistance of the zener diode but which is the resistance of a diode
Why the dynamic resistance of a zener diode different from its static resistance?
The dynamic resistance of a diode, be it zener or otherwise, will be different from its static resistance because a diode is not a resistor, and resistance is not a function of current flow. It is a diode, and a diode has its own characteristic voltage to current curve, forward and, in the case of a zener, reverse.
When current through a zener diode increases by a factor of 2 by what factor does the voltage across the zener diode increase?
If the zener diode is in zener breakdown the voltage across the zener diode remains constant regardless of current (for the ideal zener diode). Real zener diodes have parasitic resistance that causes the voltage across the zener diode to increase slightly with increased current, but due to temperature dependant variations in this parasitic resistance as well as temperature dependant variations in the zener breakdown voltage, this change in voltage in real zener diodes cannot be described by a simple linear factor.
What is zener dioide?
Zener diode can be defined as diode which allows current to flow in the forward direction in the same method as an ideal diode, but will also allow it to flow in reverse direction when the voltage is above definite value known as the breakdown voltage
Does a zener diode acts as a switch?
A zener diode cannot be used as switch.
What is the difference between an ideal zener diode and practical zener diode?
Zener diode is heavily doped pn junction diode.
Which diode have characteristics very close to that of an ideal voltage source?
zener diode
Which diode has its characteristics very close to that of an ideal voltagesource.1.zener diode 2.vacuum tube diode 3. crystal diode?
The Zener diode has the characteristics of a constant voltage source.
What is Zener resistance of the Zener diode?
zener resistance of a zener diode is the resistance of the zener diode but which is the resistance of a diode
Is zener diode an ideal current source?
A: An ideal current source can be defined as a short with immense current capabilities A zener has no such capabilities

Where from to get ratings and specifications of zener diode?
There are thousands of different zener diode types...use the internet to locate a data sheet for a particular type.

What type of current is used in zener diode?
A zener diode passes drect current, and the point of a zener diode is that the voltage across it stays nearly constant over a range of different currents, so it can provide a supply of stabilised voltage.
Does a zener diode acts as a switch?
A zener diode cannot be used as switch.
What is material made of a zener diode?
SILICON same as any other diode but with different characteristics
