In a semiconductor p-n diode, the doping concentrations on p-side and n-side are $10^{15}\text{ atoms/cm}^3$ and $10^{18}\text{ atoms/cm}^3$, respectively. Which one of the following statements is true ?
The following diagram shows a Zener diode as a voltage regulator. The Zener diode is rated at $V_{z}=5 \mathrm{~V}$ 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 $R_{S}$ (shown in circuit) should be $\_\_\_\_$ $\Omega$.
