QUESTION 5 In this Zener diode regulator, the source voltage varies from 8 V to 12 V. Assume that the load current varies between 1 mA and 45 mA, and that the diode is an ideal 3 V Zener diode. What is the largest allowable resistance that will ensure the load voltage remains constant with variations in load current and source voltage? Please enter your answer to 3 significant figures. QUESTION 6 Given the circuit design for a Zener diode regulator in the previous question, what is the maximum power that will be dissipated by the Rs resistor? You are told that the source voltage Vs varies from 7 V to 12 V, the load current il varies between 2 mA and 37 mA, and the diode is an ideal 4 V Zener diode. You will need to recalculate the maximum allowable resistance Rs with your new values, as part of this question.
