In the figure shown, the currents through the series resistance and load respectively
(1) 9 mA, 14 mA (2) 14 mA, 5 mA (3) 1 mA, 14 mA (4) 1 mA, 6 mA
Dear Student
Here zener diode is in reverse bias so will work in breakdown state as voltage regulator . Hence voltage across load is 50 V
using V=IRL
50 = I x 10000
I = 0.005A = 5 mA
Now Voltage across series resistance is 120 - 50(zener voltage) = 70 V
so Vs = IsRs
70 = Is x 5000
Is = 70/5000
= 14 mA
So ans is (2) 14 mA, 5 mA
Regards
