We've talked about the PN junction of a diode in several videos, describing how a diode works when forward biased, reverse biased, or just at equilibrium. In this video, we talk about what a Zener diode is, how it's different, why you usually reverse bias a Zener diode, and what's going on at the semiconductor level. This video is a great theoretical description and lays the groundwork for a practical demonstration of the usage of a Zener diode. There's a great written tutorial that accompanies this video as well on CircuitBread.com - https://www.circuitbread.com/tutorial...
