This is a simple circuit that displays the function of a zener diode. It is connected with its polarity backwards. This zener diode is rated at 10v. When the supply voltage is lower than the zener voltage, it functions like a regular diode. When the supply voltage exceeds the zener voltage (in the case of this circuit, about 15v), the led will turn on
