what is the difference between diode and zener diode?

Answer Posted / rajesh

Diode is the uncontrolled rectifier and Zener diode is a
controlled rectifier.Diode has practically no limits of
voltage range to work in, whereas zener diode works only in
a voltage range(e.g. -4V to +4V).So,Zener diode is known
as voltage regulator
