Which method limits the output of a modern regulator?

  • A.A variable resistance in series with the field, which is adjusted continuously according to the output voltage
  • B.A mechanical contact
  • C.Varying the speed of the rotor, which is achieved through a variable ratio pulley on the accessory drive belt
  • D.Switching the field current rapidly on and off

Answer: D

Solid state regulators switch the field transistor at a high frequency and vary the duty cycle. Series resistance wastes power as heat and was the vibrating contact era approach, which makes those options historically real. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision. Working the distinction through on a single concrete case fixes it more firmly than any rule of thumb. Checking which component actually carries the load settles most questions of this kind at once.
