If the voltage between the terminals $A$ and $B$ is $17\ V$ and zener breakdown voltage is $9\ V$ , then the potential voltage across $R$ is.......$V$

A

$6$

B

$8$

C

$9$

D

$17$

Solution

Potential difference across $2\ R$ will be $9\ V$ . Hence remaining potential difference will be across $R$ which is $8\ v$ .
