A zener diode of voltage `V_(Z)(=6` volt) is used to maintain a constant voltage across a load resistance `R_(L)(=1000Omega)` by using a series resistance `R_(S)(+100Omega)`. If the emf or source is `E(=9V)`, clculate the value of current through series resistance, zener diode and load resistance. What is the power being dissipated in zener diode.

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the current through the series resistance, the Zener diode, and the load resistance, as well as the power dissipated in the Zener diode. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Zener voltage, \( V_Z = 6 \, \text{V} \) - Load resistance, \( R_L = 1000 \, \Omega \) - Series resistance, \( R_S = 100 \, \Omega \) - Source voltage, \( E = 9 \, \text{V} \) ...
