- \( V_o = V_z \)
- \( V_o = V_z - I_L R_L \)
- \( V_o = V_z \)
- \( V_o = V_z - I_L R_L \)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The voltage across the Zener diode is reduced by the voltage drop across the load resistance. The relationship is:\(\ \ V_o = V_z - I_L R_L\)
