The voltage characteristics of Silicon and Zener diodes are crucial for understanding their behavior in electronic circuits. Silicon diodes exhibit a forward voltage drop of approximately 0.7V, while Zener diodes are designed to operate in reverse bias and maintain a stable output voltage, known as the Zener voltage. The discussion highlights the importance of these characteristics in applications such as voltage regulation and signal rectification. For detailed diagrams and explanations, refer to the provided Wikipedia link on diode characteristics.
