Assignment 2
1) A certain 7805 regulator has a measured no-load output voltage of
5.18 V and a full load output of 5.15 V. What is the load regulation
expressed as a percentage?

Load Regulation = ( V {NLV }{FL

−V {FL }
} ) * 100%
5.18−5.15
= 5.15
* 100 = 0.58%

2) If the no-load output voltage of a regulator is 24.8 V and the full-load

output is 23.9 V, what is the load regulation expressed as a percentage?

Load Regulation = ( V {NLV }{FL

−V {FL }
} ) * 100%
24.8−23.9
= 23.9
* 100% = 3.77%
3) Assume a regulator has a percent load regulation of 0.5%. What is
the output voltage at full load if the unloaded output is 12.0 V?
V { NL }−V {FL }
Since, Load Regulation = ( V {FL } ) * 100%

V { NL }−12
= * 100% = 0.5%
12
V { NL }−12
= = 0.005
12

= VNL – 12 = 0.06
Then, VNL = 12.06 V.

4) If the no-load output voltage of a regulator is 15.5 V and the full-load

output is 14.9 V, what is the percent load regulation?

V { NL }−V {FL }
Load Regulation = ( V {FL } )
* 100%

15.5V −14.9V
= 14.9 V
* 100% = 4%

5) Determine the peak-to-peak ripple and dc output voltages in Figure .

The transformer has a 36 V rms
secondary voltage rating, and the
line voltage has a frequency of 60
Hz.
Vp(sec) = (1.414)(36 V) = 50.9 V.
Vr(rect) = Vp(sec) – 1.4 V = 50.9 V – 1.4 V = 49.5 V.

7) A certain rectifier filter produces a dc output voltage of 75 V with a

peak- to-peak ripple voltage of 0.5 V. Calculate the ripple factor.

8) A certain full-wave rectifier has a peak output voltage of 30 V. A 50 F

capacitor-input filter is connected to the rectifier. Calculate the peak-
to- peak ripple and the dc output voltage developed across a load
resistance 600Ω

9) What value of filter capacitor is required to produce a 1% ripple

factor for a full-wave rectifier having a load resistance of 1.5 kΩ.
Assume the rectifier produces a peak output of 18 V.
Vr(pp) = (0.01)(18 V) = 108 mV

60 Hz ac source. If a filter capacitor is used, determine the ripple factor
for a load resistance of 10 kΩ.
