Fig. 1
1.12 points A shunt voltage regulator (Fig.1) consists of a zener diode supplied by a constant current of 10 mA . At this operating current (without load resistance) the zener resistance is \(5\Omega \) and the zener voltage is 6.8 V . Please answer the following questions.
(a) If the regulator is loaded by a resistor of \(2\mathrm{~K}\Omega \), what is the output voltage? (5 points)
(b) If the regulator is loaded by a resistor of \(200\Omega \), what is the output voltage? (5 points)
(c) Is breakdown of a diode normally destructive? (2 points)
