This experiment examines how to build a regulated power supply using an integrated circuit voltage regulator. The circuit uses a 7805 voltage regulator chip to maintain a steady 5V output from an input voltage varying between 7-12V. Students will build the circuit on a breadboard, apply varying input voltages, and measure the output to confirm it remains constant at 5V, demonstrating the regulator's ability to maintain a stable voltage level.
