The device used to change the speed of an electric fan is – |
A. | Amplifier |
B. | Regulator |
C. | Switch |
D. | Rectifier |
Answer» B. Regulator | |
Explanation: A voltage regulator is designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level. A voltage regulator maybe a simple "feedforward" design or may include negative feedback control loops. It may use an electromechanical mechanism, or electronic components. Depending on the design, it may be used to regulate one or more AC or DC voltages. Electronic voltage regulators are found in devices such as computer power supplies where they stabilize the DC voltages used by the processor and other elements. |
