JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 9th January Evening Slot - No. 4)

The circuit shown below is working as a 8 V dc regulated voltage source. When 12 V is used as input, the power dissipated (in mW) in each diode is; (considering both zener diodes are identical) _________. JEE Main 2020 (Online) 9th January Evening Slot Physics - Semiconductor Question 140 English
Answer
40

Explanation

Current in circuit = $${{12 - 8} \over {200 + 200}}$$ = 10-2 A

So power dissipited in each diode = VI

= 4 $$ \times $$ 10-2

= 40 mW
