Load regulation of a regulated power supply must be :

  • A.As high as possible
  • B.Varying with load impedance
  • C.As low as possible
  • D.Fixed to some intermediate value

Answer: C

Load regulation should be as low as possible.

Load regulation measures how much the output voltage changes as the load current varies from no load to full load:

\[ \text{LR} = \frac{V_{NL} - V_{FL}}{V_{FL}} \times 100\% \]

A good regulated supply keeps its output steady whatever the load, so this change, and the percentage, should be as small as possible, ideally zero. A high value means poor regulation. Regulation that varies with load impedance or is fixed at some intermediate value is not a design goal.
