A zener diode of zener voltage 30 V is connected in a circuit as shown in the figure. The maximum current through the zener diode is

  1. A 5 mA
  2. B 14 mA
  3. C 9 mA
  4. D 7 mA
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 5 mA

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Step 1: Current through Load Resistor \(\left(I_L\right)\) Since the zener diode regulates the voltage at 30 V , the voltage across the load resistor ( \(R_L=6 \mathrm{k} \Omega\) ) will also be 30 V . The current through the load resistor, \(I_L\), is:…
