Question

What is the slope of the load line in the constant voltage region of a Zener diode?

Options

• Zero

• Positive

• Negative

• Undefined

Answer 1

Positive

Explanation:

The slope of the load line in the constant voltage region of a Zener diodeis positive.This is because in this region the Zener diode operates as a voltage regulator, maintaining a nearly constant output voltage across its terminals regardless of change in current.
