3) Consider the Zener-diode voltage regulator shown below. Suppose you design this circuit to drive (supply) a load resistance R1. The supply voltages to the op-amp are +15 V and -15 V (not shown). a) What is Vout? b) If R = 1 kN, what is the smallest R1, that the circuit can handle without “sagging" the output voltage? c) What should be the power rating of the resistor R? Be explicit about your assumptions. +15 V R. Vout IN4738
