Voltage Regulators - General Questions

A ________ -wave rectified signal has less ripple than a ________ -wave rectified signal and is thus better to apply to a filter.

________ regulation can be defined as the percentage change in the output voltage for a given change in the input voltage.

What regulated output voltage is provided for the following circuit elements: R₁ = 15 k  R₂ = 35 k  , and V_Z = 11.2 V?

In a series linear regulator, the control element is a(n) ________ in series with the load.

For what range of fixed regulated voltages do the series 78xx regulators provide regulation?

In a shunt linear regulator, the control element is a(n) ________ in parallel with the load.

The larger the value of the capacitor, the smaller the peak current drawn through the rectifying diodes.
