Figure shows a $\mathrm{D}\mathrm{C}$ voltage regulator circuit, with a Zener diode of breakdown voltage $=6 \mathrm{V}$ . If the unregulated input voltage varies between $10 \mathrm{V}$ to $16 \mathrm{V},$ then what is the maximum Zener current?

1. $1.5 \mathrm{m}\mathrm{A}$
2. $3.5\text{mA}$
3. $7.5 \mathrm{m}\mathrm{A}$
4. $2.5 \mathrm{m}\mathrm{A}$
