The value of power dissipated across the zener diode ( V _ z = 15V)...

The value of power dissipated across the zener diode (Vz=15V)\left({V}_{z} = 15V\right) connected in the circuit as shown in the figure is x×10−1Wx \times {10}^{- 1}W.

The value of power dissipated across the zener diode ( V _ z = 15V) connected in the circuit as shown in the figure is

The value of xx to the nearest integer is _______.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

The value of power dissipated across the zener diode ( V _ z = 15V) connected in the circuit as shown in the figure is

Voltage across RS=22−15=7V{R}_{S} = 22 - 15 = 7V

Current through RS=I=735=15A{R}_{S} = I = \dfrac{7}{35} = \dfrac{1}{5}A

Current through 90Ω=I2=1590=16A90Ω = {I}_{2} = \dfrac{15}{90} = \dfrac{1}{6}A

Current through zener =15−16=130A= \dfrac{1}{5} - \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{1}{30}A

Power through zener diode

P=VIP = VI

P=15×130=0.5P = 15 \times \dfrac{1}{30} = 0 . 5 watt

P=5×10−1P = 5 \times {10}^{- 1} watt
