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