The value of Zener current is given by:
\(I_Z=I_S-I_L\)
\(I_Z={V_S-V_Z\over R_S}-{V_Z\over R_L}\)
where, Iz = Zener current
Vz = Zener voltage
Vs = Source voltage
Rs = Source resistance
RL = Load resistance
Calculation
Given, Vz = 20 V
Vs = 30 V
Rs = 100 Ω = 0.1 kΩ
RL = 1 kΩ
\(I_Z={30-20\over 0.1}-{20\over 1}\)
IZ = 100 - 20 mA = 0.08 A
