QnA:
Q: What is the difference between a Zener diode and a regular diode?
A: While regular diodes are designed to allow current to flow in one direction only, Zener diodes are designed to allow current to flow in both directions when a certain voltage threshold is reached. When the voltage exceeds the threshold, the Zener diode will conduct in reverse bias and regulate the voltage. This property makes Zener diodes ideal for voltage regulation applications.
