JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 14. Semicondutor electronics

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

  1. A \(0-5\,\,V\)
  2. B \(0-24\,\,V\)
  3. C \(0-12\,\,V\)
  4. D \(0-8\,\,V\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0-12\,\,V\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The minimum voltage range of \(DC\) source is given by \(\mathrm{V}^{2}=\mathrm{PR}\) \( \because \,\, \mathrm{P}=1\,watt\), \(\mathrm{R}=100 \Omega\) \(=1 \times 100\) \(\therefore \mathrm{V}=10 \mathrm{volt}\)
