Q1:

To ensure that a zener diode does not get destroyed

A the applied voltage should not exceed breakdown voltage

B the current should not exceed rated current

C the current should be less than magnitude of barrier potential

D both (a) and (b)

ANS:B - the current should not exceed rated current

Zener diode work in breakdown region so in applied voltage is less or more than the breakdown voltage.
