what is the difference between diode and zener diode?
Answer Posted / jesus
A regular diode will let current go in only one direction
(forward bias) which is the direction of the arrow that you
would see on electronic schematics (the only line that you
would see PHYSICALLY on a diode = Arrow on electrical
schematic). If current is applied in the opposite direction
(reverse bias) then you would not have current on the other
end unless the voltage that you apply to it surpasses its
Breakdown Voltage then you would have a reading since the
REGULAR diode would be burn out.
Zener diodes would act the same way as a regular diode
except that in reverse bias it would allowed current to pass
when the voltage surpasses its Breakdown Voltage (Zener
Voltage).
