    Power rating,
    Pz (max) = IL (max) × Vz
    = 120 × 10– 3 × 4.8 = 576 mW

    Correct Option: A

    Power rating,
    Pz (max) = IL (max) × Vz
    = 120 × 10– 3 × 4.8 = 576 mW

    The range of possible load resistance

    RL (min) =
    VZ
    =
    V0

    IL (max)IL (max)

    or RL (min) =
    4·8 V
    = 40 Ω
    120 mA

    and RL (max) =
    VZ
    =
    V0

    IL (max)IL (min)

    or RL (max) =
    4·8 V
    = 192 Ω
    25mA

    Therefore, 40 Ω ≤ RL ≤ 192 Ω Hence alternative (C) is the correct choice.
