Question 3
(a) Explain the following terms for voltage regulator:
(i) Line regulation
(ii) Load regulation
[6 marks]
Ans:
Line regulation as applied to a voltage regulator is a measure of its ability to maintain a
constant output voltage despite variation in the input voltage. It is the change of output
voltage per unit change in the input voltage and is normally expressed in percentage form,
thus; [2 marks]
