In the circuit shown, what will be the current through the \(6 \mathrm{V}\) zener? 
- A \(6 \mathrm{mA}\), from \(\mathrm{A}\) to \(\mathrm{B}\)
- B \(2 \mathrm{mA},\) from \(\mathrm{A}\) to \(\mathrm{B}\)
- C \(2 \mathrm{mA},\) from \(B\) to \(\mathrm{A}\)
- D Zero
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Zero
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
According to the question Input voltage \(V_{s}=10 \mathrm{V}\) Source resistance \(R_{S}=1 \mathrm{k} \Omega\) Zener diode voltage \(V_{Z}=6 \mathrm{V}\) \(\because\) Breakdown voltage of zener diode is \(=6 \mathrm{V},\) and the potential difference across the zener diode…
