In the circuit shown below, maximum Zener diode current will be _____ mA .

Correct answer

Step-by-step solution

Current through load resistor is I L = 60 V 10000 Ω = 0 . 006 A and current through 4000 Ω resistor is I = 120 - 60 V 4000 Ω = 0 . 015 A Thus, maximum current through Zener diode is I Z = I - I L = 0 . 015 - 0 . 006 = 0 . 009 A = 9 mA
