Figure shows as electronic voltage regulator the zener diode may be assumed to require a minimum current of $$25$$ $$mA$$ for satisfactory operations. The value of $$R$$ required for satisfactory voltage regulation of the circuit is

Figure shown below shows a common emitter amplifier. The quiescent collector voltage of the circuit is approximately.

With the ideal operational amplifiers, the circuit in figure simulates the equation

In the figure shown, assume that the zener diode and operational amplifier to be ideal.
