10K resistor in series with a 5.1v Zener.\u00a0 Look at the power supply voltage.\u00a0 \u00a0 The Power Supply voltage is 4.8v.\u00a0 \u00a0 The threshold of the zener that I chose is 5.1v.\u00a0 \u00a0 Since we are below the threshold, all of the voltage is being dropped by the Zener.<\/p>\n<h2>Above Threshold<\/h2>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s increase the power supply voltage.\u00a0 \u00a0This time we will try 6.4 volts on our supply.\u00a0 \u00a0 You will notice the Zener (in reverse bias) began to conduct.\u00a0 \u00a0Any voltage above 5.1v is drained off by the diode.\u00a0 \u00a0This holds the potential across the diode at 5.11v.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1291 lazyload\"
