Given a 500mW 9V Zener diode which requires a minimum power of 100mW to switch on. Design a Zener regulator circuit to regulate the filtered output from a rectifier shown in Figure 1. V(V) 13,8 10,2 t(s) 0,001 Figure 1: Filtered output from a rectifier. a. What is the filtered output voltage peak to peak ripple? b. What is filtered output voltage DC value? c. What is the maximum current that can pass through the Zener diode? d. Determine the minimum value of the current limiting resistor in the Zener regulator circuit that will ensure that the maximum Zener current is not exceeded. e. Determine the maximum load in ohms that the Zener regulator circuit can supply. f. Determine the capacitance to achieve the output shown in Figure 1 for the maximum load.
