If a Zener diode rated at 10 V and 50 watts was operated at maximum dissipation rating, it would conduct ____ amperes:

1. A 50
2. B 0.05
3. C 0.5
4. D 5

Correct answer: D — 5. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

A Zener diode rated at 10 volts and 50 watts conducts 5 amperes when running at its maximum limit because power equals voltage multiplied by current. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
