The voltage across a Zener diode does not remain strictly constant with the changes in the Zener current. This is due to RZ, the Zener impedance, or the internal resistance of the Zener diode. RZ  acts like a small resistance in series with the Zener. Changes in IZ  cause small changes in VZ .

Answer»

The I-V characteristics of a Zener diode in the breakdown region is not strictly vertical. Its slope is 1/RZ , where RZ is the Zener impedance.
