Hello,
I was in electronics resources and I was thrown a LM317 regulator. I am a NEWB and have a question. I put together this circuit to study it. It doesn’t follow the rules I know. For instance parallel currents add, and series are the same. Look at the diagram, those are my meter readings, no math.ADJ has a current 57.4 UA and should be .29MA. Why is it not .29MA?
R3 is just a load.
Thank you
