Given the circuit design for a Zener diode regulator in the previous question, what is the maximum power that will be dissipated by the Rs resistor? You are told that the source voltage Vs  varies from 6 V to 13 V, the load current il varies between 2 mA and 47 mA, and the diode is an ideal 4 V Zener diode. You will need to recalculate the maximum allowable resistance Rs with your new values, as part of this question. Please enter your answer to 3 significant figures, and in Watts.
