    • @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS
      @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      At 23:59, the two terms are equated and the equation is simplified for Rs.
      During this derivation, it has been assumed that the Zener Knee Current is Zero. That means just voltage across the Zener diode should remain at least Vz to operate it in the breakdown region.

    Sir can u tell me how zener regulates when source voltage increases

    • @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS
      @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      In case of the Zener diode, in reverse bias, when we increase the voltage beyond Vz (Its Zener Voltage) then it tries to maintains the same voltage across it. But the current through the Zener diode increases.
      In reality the voltage slightly increases, as we increase the source voltage. And it is also evident from the Zener Curve in the reverse biased condition. But for academic purpose and even in some sort of applications the small increase in the voltage is acceptable and can be assumed as if the voltage across it remains constant.
      But at the same current through the diode increase.
      Because of that, the power dissipation across the diode increases.
      And if it goes beyond the rated value, it can damage the diode.
      So, when the source voltage increases, then one needs to ensure that the current through the diode is less than the Iz (max), the maximum allowable Zener Current.
      I hope it will clear your doubt.

    • @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS
      @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, as you can see, directly a load is connected after zener. Actually, after the rectification,the filtered output can be connected to zener diode. Considering ideal zener diode, it elemimates the ripple in the filtered output and output voltage across it remains the same.
      I hope, it will clear your doubt.

    • @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS
      @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would suggest you to use a voltage regulator instead of the Zener diode.
      Of course, you can connect, but the practically, the Zener diode won't give you a constant voltage across it.
      Instead, you can use a regulator like LM 317.

    • @keviseiralu4536
      @keviseiralu4536 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it's because normal PN junction diodes will get damaged when operated in the breakdown region. Zener diodes are spicial diodes which are designed to operate in their breakdown region. Looking up the two types of breakdowns, i.e. Avalanche breakdown and Zener breakdown may help you grasp a further understanding as to what makes Zener diodes special. Good luck mate.

      Typically the load resistor is the load across which we require a constant voltage. It could be the input of some circuit or input stage of bigger circuit. During the analysis, it can be represented as the input impedance of that circuit. But here for simplicity, it is represented simply as load resistor.
