Question
In the circuit below, we have a Zener Diode circuit with a load, RL. Use the same
measurements for source voltage V1 and resistor R3 resistance as in the circuit
schematic.
V1
-15V
R3
2700
D1
1N753A
RL
Determine the lowest possible value for the load RL, so that the voltage drop across
it is equal to the Zener voltage.
For your diode, use model Zener 1N753A. This diode has a Zener voltage of 6.2V,
a Zener current of 60mA, a Zener impedence of 72, and a test current of 20mA.
