To assemble a Zener diode circuit, you need to connect one end of the series resistor to the positive terminal of the power supply, and the other end to the anode of the Zener diode.

If you connect the zener diode’s conducting current in the forward direction, its voltage drop is equal to that of an ordinary silicon diode, or approximately 0.6 to 0.8V. When you apply forward ...
