When a Zener diode is used as a regulator with Zener voltage of 10 V10\,\text{V}, nearly five times the load current passes through the Zener diode. What should be the series resistance for the Zener diode, if load resistance is 2 kΩ2\,\text{k}\Omega and the unregulated voltage supplied is 16 V16\,\text{V}?
