The formula to calculate the Zener Voltage (Vz) is:
\[ V_z = R_z \cdot I_z \]
Zener Voltage is the threshold voltage at which a zener diode conducts current in reverse direction. It is determined by the doping concentration of the diode. Zener Resistance is calculated when the zener diode is operating in the breakdown region, i.e., the region where it is conducting current in reverse direction. Zener Current is defined as the current passing through a zener diode when it is in operating mode.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ V_z = 70.67 \cdot 0.15 \approx 10.6005 \]
The Zener Voltage is approximately 10.6005 V.
