A load draws between 100mA and 400mA at 6V. It is receiving power from an unregulated DC power supply whose output voltage can vary between 8.5V and 12V. Design a Zener diode voltage regulator using a 6V Zener diode that regulates for diode currents greater than 4mA and has a maximum power rating of 6W. Show the circuit diagram for the completed design and specify the power rating for all components.
