In the given circuit the current through Zener Diode is close to:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
If we consider break down in Zener diode, then potential across R 3 will be 10V and R 1 will be 2V.
So current in R 3 will be 
and current in R 1 will be 
A
i 1 < i 3 , which is not possible
Potential difference across Zener diode does not reach to break down voltage. So no current will flow through reverse biased Zener diode.
