Vedclass · Answer

(A) The voltage across the series resistor $R$ is given by the difference between the supply voltage $V_{S}$ and the Zener breakdown voltage $V_{Z}$.$V_{R} = V_{S} - V_{Z} = 20\,V - 8\,V = 12\,V$.To find the minimum value of the series resistance $R$,we must use the maximum Zener current $I_{Z,max} = 25\,mA = 25 	imes 10^{-3}\,A$.Using Ohm's law,$V_{R} = I_{Z,max} 	imes R$.$12\,V = (25 	imes 10^{-3}\,A) 	imes R$.$R = \frac{12}{25 	imes 10^{-3}}\,\Omega = \frac{12000}{25}\,\Omega = 480\,\Omega$.

An $8\,V$ Zener diode along with a series resistance $R$ is connected across a $20\,V$ supply (as shown in the figure). If the maximum Zener current is $25\,mA$,then the minimum value of $R$ will be $\Omega$.
