An experiment is performed to determine the $I-V$ characteristics of a Zener diode,which has a protective resistance of $R = 100 \,\Omega$ and a maximum power dissipation rating of $P = 1 \,W$. The minimum voltage range of the $DC$ source in the circuit is

  • A
    $0-5 \,V$
  • B
    $0-24 \,V$
  • C
    $0-12 \,V$
  • D
    $0-8 \,V$
