Hi
I understand that a zener diode will conduct in reverse when it reaches its breakdown voltage, But does it show any resistance to the current flow, lets say a zener breakdown voltage is 10 volts and 16 volts is applied to it in reverse will it act like a variable resistor with respect to the voltage changes (higher voltage lower resistance and vice versa) ?.
How does it do its work in a zener voltage regulator ?
thanks in advance guys : )
