what is the mean of "slope resistance" of zener diode? Its parallel to diod or series?

Click For Summary
The slope resistance of a Zener diode refers to the change in voltage over the change in current in the reverse bias region, representing a form of resistance. This slope is derived from the current versus voltage plot, where the Zener diode begins to conduct in reverse bias. It is not a fixed value but can be averaged over a specific range of reverse bias conditions. The concept helps in understanding the diode's behavior in voltage regulation applications. Overall, slope resistance is a crucial parameter for analyzing Zener diode performance in circuits.
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord:
The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
