The maximum rated power of the LED is $2 \text{ mW}$ and it is used in the circuit with input voltage of $5 \text{ V}$ as shown in the figure below. The current through resistance $R$ is $0.5 \text{ mA}$. The minimum value of the resistance $R_s$, to ensure that the LED is not damaged is ______ $\text{k}\Omega$.
In the provided circuit, the input voltage is $5 \text{ V}$, a series resistor $R_s$ is connected, and the circuit then branches into two parallel paths: one with a resistor $R = 1 \text{ k}\Omega$ in series with a Zener diode, and another with the LED.
