Zener Diode Voltage Regulator — Ammeter Reading Trick in 59 Sec 🔥

✍️ Short Explanation

Zener-based questions calculation se pehle logic maangte hain.
Ek baar ON/OFF decision ho gaya,
baaki steps straightforward hote hain 🔥

🔹 Step 1 — Zener Diode: Basic Role (FOUNDATION 💯)**

Zener diode ka kaam:

  • Voltage regulation

  • Reverse bias mein kaam karta hai

Rules:

  • If Vapplied≥VZV_{\text{applied}} \ge V_Z → Zener ON (breakdown)

  • If Vapplied<VZV_{\text{applied}} < V_Z → Zener OFF

📌 First check = breakdown condition

🔹 Step 2 — Voltage Across Parallel Branch (MOST IMPORTANT 🔥)**

Agar Zener ON ho jaata hai:

  • Zener node voltage clamp kar deta hai

  • Parallel branch (load + ammeter) par:

Vload=VZ\boxed{V_{\text{load}} = V_Z}

📌 Supply chahe zyada ho —
load voltage fixed rehta hai.

🔹 Step 3 — Current Division Logic

Source se aane wala total current:

  • Series resistor se aata hai

  • Node par do hisson mein banta hai:

    • Zener current

    • Load current (ammeter ke through)

Important:

  • Ammeter sirf load current measure karta hai

  • Zener current ammeter se nahi jaata ⚠️

🔹 Step 4 — Role of Series Resistor

Series resistor:

  • Total current limit karta hai

  • Zener ko protect karta hai

Iska kaam:

  • Yeh decide karta hai:

    • Zener ko kitna current mile

    • Load ko kitna current mile

📌 Lekin load current nikaalne ke liye:

  • Sirf Ohm’s law on load branch use karo

Iload=VZRloadI_{\text{load}}=\frac{V_Z}{R_{\text{load}}}

🔹 Step 5 — Golden JEE Strategy ⭐

🧠 Exam-time checklist:
1️⃣ Zener ON/OFF check karo
2️⃣ Zener ON ⇒ Vload=VZV_{\text{load}}=V_Z fix karo
3️⃣ Load branch par Ohm’s law lagao
4️⃣ Ammeter reading = load current
5️⃣ Zener current ko ammeter se mix mat karo

⭐ Golden Summary Box

  • Zener ON ⇒ voltage clamped at VZV_Z

  • Load voltage independent of supply (within limits)

  • Ammeter measures only load current

  • Series resistor limits total current

✅ Final Takeaway

Agar question bole:

“Zener circuit mein ammeter reading?”

👉 Turant yaad karo:

Zener ON? ⇒ Voltage fixed ⇒ Load current = VZ/RV_Z/R

No confusion.
No overthinking.
Pure concept = full marks 🚀

Two lines L 1 L_1 ​ and L 2 L_2 ​ . Required line is perpendicular to L 1 L_1 L 1 ​ and L 2 L_2 L 2 ​ and has equation x − 1 − 2 = y + 4 d = z − c − 4 \frac{x-1}{-2} = \frac{y+4}{d} = \frac{z-c}{-4} Steps: Direction ratios (DRs) of L 1 L_1 : 1 , a , b 1, a, b . DRs of L 2 L_2 : − b , a , 5 -b, a, 5 . The required line’s DRs are proportional to the cross product of these (since it is ⟂ to both).
