A zener diode exhibits a constant voltage of 5.6 V for currents greater than five times the knee current. IZK is specified to be

1 mA. The zener is to be used in the design of a shunt regulator fed from a 15-V supply. The load current varies over the range of 0 mA to 15 mA. Find a suitable value for the resistor R. What is the maximum power dissipation of the zener diode?

Answer:

The maximum power dissipation of the zener diode 112mV.

Explanation:

The minimum zener current should be:

5 * Iza= 5 * 1=  5 mA.

Since the load current can be at maximum 15 mA, we should select R so that, IL= 15 mA.

A zener current of 5 mA is available, Thus the current should be 20 mA, which leads to,

R = \frac{15 - 5.6}{20 mA} = 470 Ω.

Maximum power dissipated in the diode occours when, IL=0 is

Pmax = 20 * 10^{3} * 5.6 = 112mV.

A circular column is fixed at the base and not supported at the top. If the column needs to be 15ft and hold 10kips, what is the
muminat

Answer:

The required size of column is length = 15 ft and diameter = 4.04 inches

Explanation:

Given;

Length of the column, L = 15 ft

Applied load, P = 10 kips = 10 × 10³ Psi

End condition as fixed at the base and free at the top

thus,

Effective length of the column, \L_e = 2L = 30 ft = 360 inches

now, for aluminium

Elastic modulus, E = 1.0 × 10⁷ Psi

Now, from the Euler's critical load, we have

P =\frac{\pi^2EI}{L_e^2}

where, I is the moment of inertia

on substituting the respective values, we get

10\times10^3 =\frac{\pi^2\times1.0\times10^7\times I}{360^2}

or

I = 13.13 in⁴

also for circular cross-section

I = \frac{\pi}{64}\times d^4

thus,

13.13 = \frac{\pi}{64}\times d^4

or

d = 4.04 inches

The required size of column is length = 15 ft and diameter = 4.04 inches
