Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A Zener diode with a breakdown voltage of 5.1V is connected in a circuit with an input voltage of 12V. If the load resistance is 220Ω, calculate the necessary series resistor value.
💡 Hint: Make sure to convert all values to the correct units.
Question 2
Evaluate how the output voltage of a Zener regulator would change if the input voltage exceeds the break-point by a significant margin. What design considerations would you account for?
💡 Hint: Consider both the Zener's performance limitations and heat dissipation.
