In a loaded Zener regulator, which is the largest Zener current ?

Correct answer: A. Series current

  • A. Series current
  • B. Zener current
  • C. Load current
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

The series current splits into load and Zener currents, so I_S = I_L + I_Z. Hence the series current is larger than either branch current in a loaded Zener regulator.
