Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B)  \(5.5 \mathrm{~mA}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{V}_z=3 \mathrm{~V}\)

Let potential at \(B=0 \mathrm{~V}\)

Potential at \(E\left(V_E\right)=10 \mathrm{~V}\)

\( V_C=V_A=3 \mathrm{~V} \)

\( I_z+I_1=I \)

\( I=\frac{10-3}{1000}=\frac{7}{1000} \mathrm{~A} \)

\( I_1=\frac{3}{2000} \mathrm{~A}\)

Therefore \(I_z=\frac{7-1.5}{1000}=5.5 \mathrm{~mA}\)
