Answer 1

Explanation:

To draw the characteristics curve of zener diode and to determine its reverse breakdown voltage observation

what the questin here

Answer 2

Reverse breakdown voltage is indicated by $\bold{V_{o}}$

Explanation:

• Zener diode:

This diode permits the current flow in forward as well as reverse direction when voltage exceeds breakdown voltage.

• It act as semiconductor diode.
• The relations between parameters as follows

$\bold{I_{L}=I_{I}-I_{z}}$

$\bold{V_{o}=V_{I}-R_{I}I_{I}}$

$I_{L}$ = Load current

$I_{Z}$ = Zener diode current

$I_{I}$ = Input current

$V_{o}$ = Output voltage

$V_{I}$ = Input voltage

$R_{I}$ = Input resistance

• Reverse brake down voltage is indicated by the following formula.$\bold{V_{o}=V_{I}-R_{I}I_{I}}$

$\bold{V_{o}=Constant\,value}$

Zenerdiode diagram is as follows.
