The following diagram shows a Zener diode as a voltage regulator. The Zener diode is rated at \(V _{ Z }=5 V\) and the desired current in load is 5 mA . The unregulated voltage source can supply upto 25 V . Considering the Zener diode can withstand four times of the load current, the value of resistor \(R _{ S }\) (shown in circuit) should be ___________ \(\Omega\).
- A 4000 \( \Omega \)
- B 10 \( \Omega \)
- C 100 \( \Omega \)
- D 800 \( \Omega \)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 800 \( \Omega \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given \(V_z=5 V\), desired load current \(I_L=5 mA\). Maximum Zener current \(I_Z=4 I_L=4 \times 5 mA=20 mA\). Total current through series resistor \(I=I_L+I_Z=5 mA+20 mA= 25 mA\). Maximum input voltage \(V_{\text {in }}=25 V\). Voltage across resistor \(R_S=(25-5) V =20 V\).…
