In a Zener diode,the reverse bias voltage is $3 \ V$ and the width of the depletion region is $300 \ \mathring{A}$. The electric field intensity will be $\dots \ V/cm$.

$A$ Zener diode with a power rating of $1 \, W$ is to be used as a voltage regulator. If the Zener diode has a breakdown voltage of $5 \, V$ and it has to regulate an input voltage that fluctuates between $3 \, V$ and $7 \, V$,what should be the value of the series resistance $R_s$ for safe operation? (See figure)

What will be the current flowing through the $6 \text{ k}\Omega$ resistor in the circuit shown, where the breakdown voltage of the Zener diode is $6 \text{ V}$?

$A$ Zener diode in the circuit shown has a knee current of $5\,mA$ and a maximum allowed power dissipation of $300\,mW$. What are the minimum and maximum load currents that can be drawn safely from the circuit, keeping the output voltage $V_0$ constant at $6\,V$?

The circuit shown below is working as an $8\; V\; dc$ regulated voltage source. When $12 \; V$ is used as input, the power dissipated (in $mW$) in each diode is (considering both zener diodes are identical).
