Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a Zener voltage regulator with a specified input range of 9V to 12V and a load of 100 ohms requiring a 5V output. Determine the appropriate values for R_S and the expected I_Z at no load.

💡 Hint: Remember to calculate I_Z using the maximum load scenario.

Question 2

Explain the effect on output voltage if the load suddenly decreases after a stable Zener voltage is established.

💡 Hint: Consider current behavior under varying load conditions.
