The zener diode has a \(V _{ z }=30\, V\). The current passing through the diode for the following circuit is \(\ldots \ldots \ldots \,mA.\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(9\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(i =\frac{60}{4000} \,A\)
\(i _{1}=\frac{30}{5000} \,A\)
\(i - i _{1}=\frac{60}{4000}-\frac{30}{5000}=\frac{9}{1000}\, A\)
current from zener diode
\(i _{z}= i - i _{1}=9\, m A\)
