A zener diode of rating 100 mW to be used as a voltage regulator if the zener ddiode has the breakdwon voltage of 5 V and it has to regulate should be the value of R_(S ) for safe operation

Zener diode is a specially desined p-n junction diode, in which both p-side and n-side of p-n junction are heavily doped. The zener diode is designed especially to operate in the reverse break down voltage region continuosly without being damaged? Zener diode is used to remove the fluctuations from the given voltage and thereby provides a voltage of constant magnitude (i.e., Zener diode is used as voltage regulator).
