Zener-diode is used in:
  • A
    Amplification
  • B
    Rectification
  • C
    Oscillator in producing oscillations
  • D
    Volatge regulation

Answer

  1. Volatge regulation

Explanation:

 A voltage regulator circuit can be designed using a zener diode to maintain a constant DC output voltage across the load in spite of variations in the input voltage or changes in the load current.
