Question 35 of 209

The following diagram shows a Zener diode as a voltage regulator. The Zener diode is rated at Vz=5 VV_{z}=5 \mathrm{~V} and the desired current in load is 5 mA. The unregulated voltage source can supply upto 25 V. Considering the Zener diode can withstand four times of the load current, the value of resistor RSR_{S} (shown in circuit) should be ____\_\_\_\_ Ω\Omega.
