An experiment is performed to determine the \(I-V\) characteristics of a Zener diode, which has a protective resistance of \(R = 100 \,\Omega ,\) and a maximum power of dissipation rating of \(1\,W\) .The minimum voltage range of the \(DC\) source in the circuit is
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(0-12\,\,V\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The minimum voltage range of \(DC\) source is given by
\(\mathrm{V}^{2}=\mathrm{PR}\)
\( \because \,\, \mathrm{P}=1\,watt\),
\(\mathrm{R}=100 \Omega\)
\(=1 \times 100\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{V}=10 \mathrm{volt}\)
