In the following circuit, the Zener diode model is 1N4741A.
a) Determine the minimum and maximum output voltages (V_(ZK^(')), V_(ZM)). Notice that P_(D) = 1W.
b) Determine the minimum and maximum input voltages that can be regulated by the Zener diode and determine the Line Regulation.
c) Assume that V_(IN) was fixed at 15V, and a load resistor is connected to the circuit. Determine the acceptable range of load resistor that can be used. Then, determine the Load Regulation.
d) What will happen if R_(L) is used? Explain Why?
