Hi, i've some questions in my mind while reading my text books
1. Why we use a series resistor with zener diodes ? to limit the current but i dont understand really what if i didnt put it , what would occur ?
2. Using transformers for power supply as an isolater , how it can isolate the main supply and why we need to isolate it ?
3.In a series regulator circuit using zener there's a load current and a variable resistor , doesnt we put a constant value of the load resistor ? why the book talks about variable load and hence variable load current IL ?
thanks
