what is the voltage Vz? If you landed on this quiz directly, please see 2019 Problem 05 to set the context.
The voltage at is approximately Vz = 15V*(1k/(10k+500+500)) = 1.36V. This also means that the current in the 500Ω load is 1.36mA. The closest choice for Problem 12 was therefore 1mA.
This problem was taken from Horowitz and Hill, "The Art of Electronics"; and highlights the fact that when resistors form a chain between two defined voltages, the intermediate net voltages are determined by the resistors.
