In the given circuit the current through Zener Diode is close to :

A

4.0mA

B

6.7mA

C

0.0mA

D

6.0mA

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Voltage across `R_2`=10 V
So, `i(R_2)=10/1500=2/3xx10^(-2)`A
So, current through `500 Omega =(4/3xx10^(-3)+ i_z)`
So , voltage across `500 Omega =(20/3+500 i_z)`
So, `12-10=20/3 + 50 i_z`
This gives a negative value of `i_z`.
So, `i_z=0`
