INTRODUCTION
Describe how the shunt regulator, shown below, works.
Assuming VZ = 5.73V, calculate the Vout, IS, IL, IC .

EQUIPMENT
• List all devices and meters
• 1 potentiometer 50?
PROCEDURE
Using Multisim construct the circuit.
Replace the load resistance with the 50? potentiometer.
Vary it from 0? to 50?. For each setting of RL, measure Vout and record it in the table.
