A potential divider circuit is connected with a DC source of \(20 \mathrm{~V}\), a light emitting diode of glow in voltage \(1.8 \mathrm{~V}\) and a zener diode of breakdown voltage of \(3.2 \mathrm{~V}\). The length (PR) of the resistive wire is \(20 \mathrm{~cm}\). The minimum length of \(P Q\) to just glow the LED is _______ cm.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 5
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(PR=20cm\)
\(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{PQ}}=\frac{1}{4} \times \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{PR}}\)
\(\ell_{\min }(\mathrm{PQ})=\frac{1}{4} \times 20\)
\(=5 \mathrm{~cm}\)
