Question
How would the value be obtained?
### Series Regulator with Current Limiting

#### Description

1. **Figure 3** shows the series regulator from the experiment with the addition of current limiting transistors \( Q_3 \) and \( R_6 \). Assume the current limit is set to 200 mA. Select a value for \( R_6 \) that will produce this limit. Show how the value is obtained.

#### Circuit Explanation

The diagram presented is a series regulator circuit that includes a current limiting feature. The main components include:

- **Q1 (SK3024)** and **Q2/Q3 (2N3904)**, which are transistors involved in regulating current.
- **R1, R2, R3, R4,** and **R5 (1.0 kΩ)** resistors, which play roles in biasing and current limiting.
- **R6 (330 Ω)** is the resistor for which you need to determine a value to achieve the specified current limit of 200 mA.
- A Zener diode **(D1, 1N4733)** is used for voltage reference, maintaining a 5V output.

#### How to Determine \( R_6 \)

The task is to calculate the value for \( R_6 \) that will limit the current to 200 mA. To do this, you need to analyze the circuit and apply necessary calculations considering Ohm's Law and transistor operation principles.
