You are told that the source voltage Vs varies from 6 V to 11 V, the load current il varies between 2 mA and 45 mA, and the diode is an ideal 3 V Zener diode. You will need to recalculate the maximum allowable resistance Rs with your new values, as part of this question.

The density and mobility of the electrons in the sheet are critical for the operation of the HEMT. HEMTs consisting of AlGaN/GaN/Si are being studied because they promise better performance at higher currents, temperatures, and frequencies than conventional silicon HEMTs can achieve. In one study, the Hall effect was used to measure the density of electrons in one of these new HEMTs. When a current of 10.0 μA flows through the length of the electron sheet, which is 1.00 mm long, 0.300 mm wide, and 10.0 nm thick, a magnetic field of 1.00 T perpendicular to the sheet produces a voltage of 0.680 mV across the width of the sheet.
