Hi!
I was reading the book 'Microelectronics citcuits: analysis and desing' whose author is Muhammad Rashid and there was something that I coudn't understand about Zener diodes.

How can I calculate the required series resistor for operate a Zener diode in the breakdown region?

Hi. Thanks!
I have another question about an example I found in the book.
The example and the results are shown in the figures below.
My question is about subsection d: ¿Where did the formula IL (max) and RL (Load Resistance) come from?
