Question

Arrange the following components in the order of their function in power supply

(A) Voltage regulator
(B) Rectifier
(C) Transformer
(D) Filter
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (B), (A), (C), (D).
• B. (A), (B), (C), (D).
• C. (B), (A), (D), (C).
• D. (C), (B), (D), (A).

Hint:

In a power supply, the sequence is: Transformer → Rectifier → Filter → Voltage Regulator.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Power Supply Operation Sequence.
1. Transformer (C): Initially converts AC voltage, either increasing or decreasing it.
2. Rectifier (B): Transforms AC to DC using diodes for signal rectification.
3. Filter (D): Reduces DC voltage variations for a smoother output.
4. Voltage regulator (A): Stabilizes DC voltage, compensating for input fluctuations.
Step 2: Summary.
The operational sequence is: \[\text{Transformer} \rightarrow \text{Rectifier} \rightarrow \text{Filter} \rightarrow \text{Voltage Regulator}\]
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{(C), (B), (D), (A)}} \]
