Temperature Effects
Is almost
doubles for every 10 C rise in temperature. VZ increases with temperature. The width of the depletion layer decrease and hence barrier potential decreases with rise in temperature. As a result, VT decreases by 2mV for each celsius degree rise in temperature.

DIODE RESISTANCE
Two kinds :
1.
2.
Static or DC Resistance (High Value) : It is the resistance offered by the diode to a dc current. Dynamic or AC Resistance (Low Value) : It is the resistance offered by the diode to ac current.

Voltage Regulation:The variation of d.c. o/p voltage as a function of d.c. load current is called voltage regulation. In other words, the degree to which a power supplies varies in o/p voltage under condition of load variation is measured by a term known as voltage regulation.
Vno load - Vfull load % Voltage Regulation 100 % Vfull load
An ideal power supply has full load voltage equal to the its no-load Voltage and hence zero % regulation.
