Experiment No. 4

Exercise : Obtain a breadboard, suitable components from your tutor and build the following circuit.

Vs = 10 & 15volts, R = 1K ohms
















Describe what is happening and why you are getting these readings:
The zener diode acts as a voltage regulator and has the output of 5.1 volts even when I vary the voltage from 10 volts to 15 volts. Only the resistor increased in high volts because it comes before the diode.

  1. The calculated current at 15 V is not correct. Where are the calculations?

  2. Sorry sir my mistake it is 13.84mA not 13.84V sorry
