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 _________ \(\Omega\).
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 125
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

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