Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
A Zener diode is used as a voltage regulator to provide a constant voltage across a load. To achieve this, it is operated in the breakdown region, which requires it to be connected in reverse bias.
To maintain a constant voltage across the load, the Zener diode must be connected in parallel with the load resistance.
Answer: reverse bias and in parallel with load.
