The components which are used in regulated power supply as rectifier, filter and voltage regulator are
Options
- Atransformer, inductor and capacitor
- Btransformer, capacitor and Zener diode
- Cp-n junction diodes, Zener diode and inductor
- Dp-n junction diode, capacitor and Zener diode
Correct answer
D. p-n junction diode, capacitor and Zener diode
Step-by-step solution
In a regulated power supply, the following components are used for specific functions: 1. Rectifier: A p-n junction diode is used to convert alternating current (AC) into pulsating direct current (DC). 2. Filter: A capacitor is connected in parallel to the load to smooth out the ripples from the pulsating DC, providing a steadier DC voltage. 3. Voltage Regulator: A Zener diode is used in reverse bias to maintain a constant output voltage across the load, regardless of variations in the input voltage or load current
