The Zener current will be minimum when_____________?
Correct answer: A. Load current is maximum
- A. Load current is maximum
- B. Load current is minimum
- C. Load current is zero
- D. None of the above
Explanation
The Zener current is approximately the series current minus the load current, so it becomes minimum when the load draws its maximum current. At zero load current, the Zener current is instead greatest.
