A zener regulated power supply consists of a $9 V $ battery connected in series with a and a zener diode. The zener diode maintains a constant voltage drop of $4V $ The current drawn by the load resistance will be :
Zener breakdown takes place if:
If, a Zener diode ($V _z = 5V$ and $I _z = 10 mA$) is connected in series with a resistance and 20 V is applied across the combination, then the maximum resistance one can use without spoiling zener action is
