  1. Question 1

    Q1. A voltage regulator is used to regulate an input voltage of 12 V to an output voltage of 5 V. What is the type of regulator?

    • A) Step-up regulator
    • B) Step-down regulator
    • C) Linear regulator
    • D) Switching regulator

    Answer: Step-down regulator

    Explanation: Output voltage (5 V) is less than input voltage (12 V), so it's a step-down regulator.
