IL=(8 V/2 KΩ )=4mA I=(24 - 8/2 KΩ )=8mA IZ=I-IL=4mA

Q. Calculate the current through the zener diode for the given values of load resistance in this circuit:

$8 m A$

$4 m A$

$12 m A$

None of these

$I_{L} = \frac{8 V}{2 K Ω} = 4 m A$
$I = \frac{24 - 8}{2 K Ω} = 8 m A$
$I_{Z} = I - I_{L} = 4 m A$
