If the input a.c. voltage to regulated or ordinary power supply increases by 5% what will be the approximate change in d.c. output voltage?

Correct answer: D. 5%

  • A. 10%
  • B. 20%
  • C. 15%
  • D. 5%

Explanation

For an ordinary unregulated supply, the DC output changes approximately in proportion to the input, so a 5% input increase gives about a 5% output increase. A regulated supply would normally show a smaller change because regulation suppresses input variations.
