a solar cell
a transistor which can be used as an amplifier
a zener diode which can be used as voltage regulator
a diode which can be used as a rectifier

Hide Solution

Verified By Collegedunia

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The I-V characteristics of the given device show a typical breakdown region where the voltage remains fairly constant while the current increases. This characteristic is a signature of a Zener diode in its breakdown region, which is used as a voltage regulator.

Thus, the correct answer is Option (3).
