1. Monitor and report the load voltage V<sub>L</sub> by using the Waveforms Voltmeter instrument to measure V<sub>L</sub> for R<sub>L</sub> equal to:\\ | |
(a) Open circuit\\ | |
(b) 10 kΩ\\ | |
(c) 1 kΩ\\ | |
(d) 100Ω\\ | |
2. Replace the load R<sub>L</sub> with a 5KΩ potentiometer, and adjust the potentiometer to determine the minimum value of R<sub>L</sub> for which V<sub>L</sub> remains within 10% of the zener voltage V<sub>Z</sub>. Measure and report the resistance you set the potentiometer to. How does this resistance relate to the value of R<sub>S</sub>? | 2.
