JEE PYQ: Semiconductors Question 29
Question 29 - 2019 (08 Apr 2019 Shift 1)
The reverse breakdown voltage of a Zener diode is 5.6 V in the given circuit. The current $I_Z$ through the Zener is:
(1) 10 mA
(2) 17 mA
(3) 15 mA
(4) 7 mA
Show Answer
Answer: (1)
Solution
$I_{800\Omega} = 5.6/800 = 7$ mA. $I_{200\Omega} = (9-5.6)/200 = 17$ mA. $I_Z = 17 - 7 = 10$ mA.
