D) produce unregulated voltages.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The combination of an emitter follower and a zener diode can be used to produce regulated voltages with large output currents. The zener diode acts as a voltage reference and helps to stabilize the output voltage, while the emitter follower provides current amplification and drives the load with a low output impedance. This configuration is commonly used in voltage regulator circuits to supply power to electronic devices. The other choices are not relevant to this particular combination of components.
