For the circuit shown below, the current through the Zener diode is......\(mA\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(9\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{I}_{10 \mathrm{k}}=\frac{50}{10 \mathrm{k}}=5\, \mathrm{mA}\)
\(\mathrm{i}_{5 \mathrm{k}}=\frac{120-50}{5 \mathrm{k}}=14\, \mathrm{mA}\)
\(\mathrm{i}_{2}=(14-5) \mathrm{mA}=9\, \mathrm{mA}\)
