is high

(B) The number of people in other parts of the world who are infected with rabies is low.

Q49 The I V- characteristics of the zener diodes D1 and D2 are shown in Figure I. These diodes are used in the circuit given in Figure II. If the supply voltage is varied from 0 to 100 V. then breakdown occurs in

(A) D1 only

(B) D2 only

(C) Both D1 & D2

(D) None of D1 & D2

s1 Correct option is (A)

Here both zener diodes are in RB VBZ1 80= V VBZ2 70= VD1 have list saturation currentWhen we will vary the voltage above 80 VD1 get breaks down and will replaced by 80 V and through it ‘3’ current can flow through it. But because of D2 we will take minimum current i.e. net current equals to reverse saturation current of D2 as we know

The diode have least saturation will break down first and it will replaced by its break down voltage and the net current equal upto other diode reverse saturation current.
