In an unregulated power supply, if load current increases, the output voltage _____________?
Correct answer: B. Decreases
- A. Remains the same
- B. Decreases
- C. Increases
- D. None of the above
Explanation
As load current increases, the supply's internal resistance causes a larger voltage drop, so the output terminal voltage decreases. Regulation is absent, so this droop is not corrected.
