Question:
Consider the Zener diode circuit shown in Figure P2.20. Assume \(V_{Z}=12 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(r_{z}=0\).
(a) Calculate the Zener diode current and the power dissipated in the Zener diode for \(R_{L}=\infty\).
(b) What is the value of \(R_{L}\) such that the current in the Zener diode is one-tenth of the current supplied by the \(40 \mathrm{~V}\) source?
(c) Determine the power dissipated in the Zener diode for the conditions of part (b).
