The figure represents a voltage regulator circuit using a Zener diode. The breakdown voltage of the Zener diode is $6\,V$ and the load resistance is $R_L = 4\,k\Omega.$ The series resistance of the circuit is $R_i = 1\,k\Omega.$ If the battery voltage $V_B$ varies from $8\,V$ to $16\,V,$ what are the minimum and maximum values of the current through the Zener diode?

What is the value of output voltage $V_0$ in $V$ for the circuit shown in the figure?

$A$ Zener diode with a power rating of $1 \, W$ is to be used as a voltage regulator. If the Zener diode has a breakdown voltage of $5 \, V$ and it has to regulate an input voltage that fluctuates between $3 \, V$ and $7 \, V$,what should be the value of the series resistance $R_s$ for safe operation? (See figure)

An $8\,V$ Zener diode along with a series resistance $R$ is connected across a $20\,V$ supply (as shown in the figure). If the maximum Zener current is $25\,mA$,then the minimum value of $R$ will be $\Omega$.

$A$ diode has Zener voltage of $10 \text{ V}$ and maximum power dissipation of $0.5 \text{ W}$. The minimum resistance to be used in series with this diode for safety when it is connected to a $25 \text{ V}$ power supply is . . . . . . $\Omega$.
