A Zener diode is specified having a breakdown voltage of 9.1 V with a maximum power dissipation of 364 mW. What is the maximum current that the diode can handle.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the maximum current that a Zener diode can handle, we can use the relationship between power, voltage, and current. The formula we will use is: \[ P = I \times V \] Where: - \( P \) is the power (in watts), - \( I \) is the current (in amperes), - \( V \) is the voltage (in volts). ...
