Maintaining a constant voltage above the breakdown voltage is the function of the "zener" type of this component.
Maintaining a constant voltage above the breakdown voltage is the function of the "zener" type of this component. This circuit element is depicted as an encircled solid triangle with a line perpendicularly intersecting the wire at one vertex. A full-wave rectifier circuit uses an even number of these devices. Unlike transistors, they consist of a p-type semiconductor joined to an n-type semiconductor. For 10 points, name these circuit elements that allow current to flow in only one direction, that come in a "light emitting" variety.
