Homework Statement
What would happen if the load resistor was short-circuited. What would happen if the load resister was removed?
-see attached diagram-
Homework Equations
P=Iin^2*R
Pz=IzVz
=(Iin-Iout)Vz=[((Vin-Vz)/R)-Iout]Vz
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure about short circuited, but I think that if it is removed then the current Iout would be greater, which would give us a smaller power rating, but I'm not sure how to figure it out!
Any help would be great!
