what is the difference between diode and zener diode?
Answer Posted / raghavendra
Difference between diode and zener diode
1. Diode can conduct current only in one direction, whereas zener diode allows the conduction in both directions.
2. A normal diode will be permanently damaged for a large reverse current, but a zener diode will not.
3. Amount of doping for P and N semiconductor layers are different in the two devices.
4. Diodes are normally used for rectification, whereas zener diodes are used for voltage regulation.
