Question:
The I-V characteristics of an electronic device shown in the figure. The device
The I-V characteristics of an electronic device shown in the figure. The device
Updated On: Nov 18, 2024
- a solar cell
- a transistor which can be used as an amplifier
- a zener diode which can be used as voltage regulator
- a diode which can be used as a rectifier
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The I-V characteristics of the given device show a typical breakdown region where the voltage remains fairly constant while the current increases. This characteristic is a signature of a Zener diode in its breakdown region, which is used as a voltage regulator.
Thus, the correct answer is Option (3).
