Question

Technician A says a Zener diode is an excellent component for regulating voltage. Technician B says when a circuit is opened suddenly to a large load, such as a coil, installing a clamping diode provides a bypass for the electrons. Who is correct?
A) Technician  A only
B) Technician  B only
C) Both Technician A and B
D) Neither Technician A nor B

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct in stating that a Zener diode is an excellent component for regulating voltage as it can maintain a constant voltage output regardless of changes in current or input voltage. 
Technician B is correct in stating that installing a clamping diode provides a path for the current to flow when a circuit is opened suddenly to a large load, protecting the circuit components from a sudden voltage spike. Therefore, both technicians are correct.
