. The figure represents a voltage regulator circuit using a Zener diode. The breakdown voltage of the Zener diode is 6 V and the load resistance is RL = 4 k. The series resistance of the circuit is Ri =1k. If the battery voltage VB varies from 8 V to 16 V, what are the minimum and maximum values of the current through Zener diode ?

Question:
The figure represents a voltage regulator circuit using a Zener diode. The breakdown voltage of the Zener diode is $6 \mathrm{~V}$ and the load resistance is $\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{L}}=4 \mathrm{k}$. The series resistance of the circuit is $R_{1}=1 \mathrm{k}$. If the battery voltage $V_{B}$ varies from $8 \mathrm{~V}$ to $16 \mathrm{~V}$, what are the minimum and maximum values of the current through Zener diode?

$0.5 \mathrm{~mA} ; 6 \mathrm{~mA}$
$1 \mathrm{~mA} ; 8.5 \mathrm{~mA}$
$0.5 \mathrm{~mA} ; 8.5 \mathrm{~mA}$
$1.5 \mathrm{~mA} ; 8.5 \mathrm{~mA}$
