IL = (10V/2kΩ) = 5mA I = ((60-10)v/4kΩ) = (50/4kΩ) = 12.5 mA IZ = I-IL = (12.5-5) mA = 7.5 mA

Q. A Zener diode is connected to a battery and a load as shown below :
The currents $I, I_{z}$ and $I_{L}$ are respectively

$15 m A, 5 m A, 10 m A$

$15 m A, 7.5 m A, 7.5 m A$

$12.5 m A, 5 m A, 7.5 m A$

$12.5 m A, 7.5 m A, 5 m A$

$I_{L} = \frac{10 V}{2 k Ω} = 5 m A$
$I = \frac{( 60 - 10 ) v}{4 k Ω} = \frac{50}{4 k Ω} = 12.5 m A$
$I_{Z} = I - I_{L} = (12.5 - 5) m A = 7.5 m A$
