Top Questions on Zener Diodes
Manufacturers supply a zener diode with zener voltage \( V_z=5.6\,\text{V} \) and maximum power dissipation \( P_{\max}=\frac14\,\text{W} \). This zener diode is used in the circuit shown. Calculate the minimum value of the resistance \( R_s \) so that the zener diode will not burn when the input voltage is \( V_{in}=10\,\text{V} \).
