  1. A \(2000 \Omega\)
  2. B \(\frac{2000}{3} \Omega\)
  3. C \(1000 \Omega\)
  4. D \(\frac{1000}{3} \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{2000}{3} \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, \(R_{\mathrm{l}}=1 \mathrm{k} \Omega\), Zener breakdown voltage \(V_z=6 \mathrm{~V}\) Let \(I_1\) and \(I_z\) be the current passing through \(R_1\) and Zener diode, then using equation, \(I_1=\frac{V_z}{R_1}=\frac{6}{1000} \mathrm{~A}\) According to given condition…
