Design a voltage-regulator circuit to provide a constant voltage of 5 V to a load from a variable supply voltage. The load current varies from 0 to 100 mA, and the source voltage varies from 8 to 10 V. You may assume that ideal Zener diodes are available. Resistors of any value may be specified. Draw the circuit diagram of your regulator, and specify the value of each component. Also, find the worst case (maximum) power dissipated in each component in your regulator. Try to use good judgment in your design. Repeat Problem P9.29 if the supply voltage ranges from 6 to 10 V.
