voltage regulators
Current steadying devices
Voltage regulators are devices that maintain a constant output voltage despite fluctuations in input voltage or load conditions.
They appear in power supplies, automotive electrical systems, and electronic circuits where stable voltage is critical: The laptop's voltage regulator failed, causing random shutdowns.
Types include linear regulators, which dissipate excess voltage as heat, and switching regulators, which are more efficient but generate electrical noise.
