Consider the circuit using figure 7.1 with a resistor of 2.2kohm. when the voltage is positive the diode
(Zener Diode) is reverse biaised. Until the zener potential is reached the diode resistance is very high
and no current flows. In this condition ohm’s law makes the voltage across R zero so all E appear across
the zener. Once the E exceed the zener voltage the remaining E drops across R.

When the input Voltage is 1V then the output across Zener Diode is in figure 7.6
