A voltage regulating circuit consisting of Zener diode, having break-down voltage of 10 V and maximum power dissipation of 0.4 W , is operated at 15 V . The approximate value of protective resistance in this circuit is _________ \(\Omega\).

  1. A 100
  2. B 150
  3. C 125
  4. D 200
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 125

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P_D=0.4 W=10 i\) \(i =0.04 A\) \(R =\frac{15-10}{0.04}=\frac{5}{0.04}=125 \Omega\)
