$A$ Zener diode is made by

Mention the use of a Zener diode.

$A$ $5.0 \, V$ stabilized power supply is required to be designed using a $12 \, V$ $DC$ power supply as an input source. The maximum power rating of the zener diode is $2.0 \, W$. The minimum value of resistance $R_{s}$ in $\Omega$ connected in series with the zener diode will be (in $.5$)

If the voltage across the Zener diode is $6\, V$, then find out the value of the maximum resistance $R$ in this condition. (in $k\Omega$)
