Q3. A zener diode is used to regulate the output voltage of a power supply to 5.1V when an input voltage
between 7V and 9.6V is applied.
Figure 02
a) Add a zener diode and its current limiting resistor to complete the circuit diagram above (Figure 02).
b) The minimum zener current should be 5 mA under all conditions.
The maximum output current required is 60 mA.
i. Calculate the minimum voltage across the resistor.
ii. What current flows through the resistor when the output current is 60 mA?
iii. Calculate the required resistor value.
iv. Calculate the power dissipated by the resistor when the input voltage is 9.6V and the output
current is 60 mA.
v. Explain whether a 0.25 W power rating would be suitable for the resistor.
Q4. Someone watches TV on average 6 hours each day. The TV is connected to a 220 Volt voltage so that
the electric current flows through the TV is 0.5 Amperes. If the electric company charges Rs.6.00 per kWh,
calculate the cost of using electric energy for TV for a 1 month (30 days) period.
