CONCLUSION AND INFERENCES:
Learnings:
 I learnt how to regulate Voltage using a Zener Diode by keeping the
resistances constant.

 I learnt how to calculate voltage regulation.

 I learnt about the breakdown voltages of diodes and the application of Zener
diodes in circuits.

Mistakes:
 I took the wrong value for VS
 I varied the Zener voltage instead of the input voltage
