The power consumption of the Zener diode with the characteristic shown below on the left should not exceed 0.5 W. In order for the diode to work in the zener region, its current value must be at least 10 mA.
Find the range of values that R_S can take if V_in = 13 V ~ 15V (DC) and the load resistance is between 560 (ohms) and 1200 (ohms).
