Accepted Answer

Voltage across R₁ is given by $V_{R_{1}} = V - V_{Z} = 15 - 10 = 5 V$ .

Resistance $R_{1} = 500 Ω$

JEE Main 2018 (Online) 16th April Morning Slot Physics - Semiconductor Question 174 English Explanation

Therefore, current through R₁ is given by

$I_{R_{1}} = \frac{5 V}{500 Ω} = 0.01 A$

Now, current through R₂ is given by

$I_{R_{2}} = \frac{10 V}{1500 Ω} = 0.067 A$

Therefore, the current through Zener diode will be

$0.1 - 0.0067 = 0.0033 A = 3.3 m A$
