The value of power dissipated across the zener diode Vz=15 V connected in the circuit as shown in the figure is x×10-1 W.

The value of x to the nearest integer is _______.

Solution

Voltage across RS=22-15=7 V

Current through RS=I=735=15 A

Current through  90Ω=I2=1590=16 A

Current through zener =15-16=130 A

Power through zener diode

P=VI

P=15×130=0.5 watt

P=5×10-1 watt
