When a zener diode is used as a regulator with zener voltage of 10 V, nearly five times the load current passes through the zener diode. What should be the series resistance for the zener diode. If load resistance is 2 k Omega and the unregulated voltage supplied is 16 V.

A Zener diode voltage regulator operated in the range 120 V - 180 V produces a constant supply of 110 v and 250 aM to the load . If the maximum current is equally shared between the load and the Zener diode, then the values of load resistance (R_(L)) and series resistance (R_(S)) are respectively
