A 6 V Zener diode is used with a series resistance of 200 Ω across a 10 V supply. A load of 1 kΩ is connected across the Zener. The current through the Zener diode is
A. 26 mA
B. 20 mA
C. 14 mA
D. 6 mA
1 answer
Best answer
Answer: C. 14 mA
Series current \(=\frac{10-6}{200}=20\) mA; load current \(=\frac{6}{1000}=6\) mA; Zener current \(=14\) mA.
