$A$ Zener diode,having a breakdown voltage equal to $15\,V$,is used in a voltage regulator circuit as shown in the figure. The current through the diode is......$mA$.

Manufacturers supply a zener diode with zener voltage $V_{z}=5.6 \, V$ and maximum power dissipation $P_{z \max }=\frac{1}{4} \, W$. This zener diode is used in the following circuit. Calculate the minimum value of the resistance $R_s$ in the circuit so that the zener diode will not burn when the input voltage is $V_{in}=10 \, V$. (in $\Omega$)

If the current in the Zener diode is five times the current in $R_1$ and the breakdown voltage of the diode is $6 \text{ V}$,find the value of $R$.
