A Zener regulator _____________ in the power supply?

Correct answer: B. Decreases the ripple

  • A. Increases the ripple
  • B. Decreases the ripple
  • C. Neither increases nor decreases the ripple
  • D. Data insufficient

Explanation

A Zener regulator holds the output voltage nearly constant, so variations in the rectifier output appear less at the load as ripple. Therefore, it decreases the ripple voltage.
