MCQ
The circuit shown below is working as a $8\; \mathrm{V}\;dc$ regulated voltage source. When $12 \;\mathrm{V}$ is used as input, the power dissipated (in $\mathrm{mW}$ ) in each diode is

(considering both zener diodes are identical)

  • A
    $20$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $24$
  • $40$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$40$
d
Current in circuit $=\frac{4}{400}=\frac{1}{100} \mathrm{A}$

So power dissipited in each diode $=$ $\mathrm{VI}$

$=4 \times \frac{1}{100} \;\mathrm{W}$

$=40 \times 10^{-3}\; \mathrm{mW}$

A person measures the depth of a well by measuring the time interval between dropping a stone and receiving the sound of impact with the bottom of the well. The error in his measurement of time is $\delta \mathrm{T}=0.01$ seconds and he measures the depth of the well to be $\mathrm{L}=20$ meters. Take the acceleration due to gravity $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$ and the velocity of sound is $300 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$. Then the fractional error in the measurement, $\delta \mathrm{L} / \mathrm{L}$, is closest to
