For the circuit shown below, the current through the Zener diode is
Options
- Azero.
- B5   mA .
- C9   mA .
- D14   mA .
Correct answer
C. 9   mA .
Step-by-step solution
Current through 5   kΩ , i 1 = 70 5000 = 14   mA Current through 10   kΩ , i l = 50 10000 = 5   mA Current through the Zener diode, I = 9   mA
