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) 
.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Current in circuit 
So power dissipited in each diode = VI
Correct answer 40
