Chapter 19, Problem 1RQ
True or False? A faulty voltage regulator can only cause a no-charge condition.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The statement “A faulty voltage regulator can only cause a no-charge condition” is true or false.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The given statement “A faulty voltage regulator can only cause a no-charge condition” is false.
Explanation of Solution
Voltage regulators are used to control and maintain the voltage at a constant level. It regulates the charging voltage of alternator.
In case of faulty voltage regulator, battery electrolyte is depleted quickly. This happens when battery is constantly over-charged. This condition is also known as over-charging condition.
Another symptom of faulty voltage regulator is dead battery. Due to this, battery loses the ability to charge or stop altogether. This condition is a no-charging condition.
Hence, a faulty voltage regulator can cause both no-charge condition and over-charging condition.
Conclusion:
Thus, the given statement “A faulty voltage regulator can only cause a no-charge condition” is false.
