FINAL ANSWERS:

1. Line Regulation = 0.25%

2. (a) Vo = 10.32 V
(b) Vo = 5.04 V
(c) Vo = 15.91 V
3. Change in IC = 0.3mA

QUESTIONS:

1. The nominal output voltage of a certain regulator is 8 V. The output changes 15 mV when the
input voltage goes from 12 V to 18 V. Determine the line regulation and express it as a
percentage change over the entire range of input voltage.

2. (a) Determine the output voltage for the given regulator. (b) What is the output voltage if R3 is
increased to 30 kohm? (c) If the Zener voltage is 3.7 V instead of 2.4 V, what is the output
voltage?

3. With a constant input voltage of 18 V, the load resistance is varied from 10 kohm to 12 kohm.
Neglecting any change in output voltage, how much does the shunt current through Q1 change?
