The forward voltage drop across a silicon diode is about 0.7V.

Assuming this circuit uses a silicon diode, the output voltage is clamped to. The Zener diode must be operated such that. PZ is less than the specified PZmax. Iz x Vz = PZ. The applied voltage is greater than VZ. When the Zener regulator is used to stabilize the output voltage, given a fixed input voltage and a variable load resistance, a load resistance that is too small results in.
