For part a) do you know what the word "dropout" refers to in the context of this question?Me too.
But this is homework help, not homework do forum, so you need to show some effort to solve the problem if you expect help from us.
Answer the question both ways. How could that ever be wrong?The question does seem a little confused on whether the regulator is 7806 or 7805.
The diagram shows a 7806 and states the output voltage is 6V so I would think statement a) has a typo.The question does seem a little confused on whether the regulator is 7806 or 7805.
His original post, since corrected, had the same question repeated for a total of two identical questions.The diagram shows a 7806 and states the output voltage is 6V so I would think statement a) has a typo.
And 6aaron9, which two questions do you consider "weird"?
Looks like the typical "copy and paste" error and a lack of due diligence by the professor, as it was their responsibility for the questions asked in their course.The question does seem a little confused on whether the regulator is 7806 or 7805.
I's assume it was 6V because 5V was only mentioned once.The question does seem a little confused on whether the regulator is 7806 or 7805.
What do you need to know?....
Kind of hard to answer b) without knowing more about the adapter...

Need to know what the input voltage is. Text said it was variable and unregulated. An equation can be given, but not a number.What do you need to know?
I wondered about that but I presume you would adjust the supply to be just high enough to keep the regulator happy.Need to know what the input voltage is. Text said it was variable and unregulated. An equation can be given, but not a number.
Yes, from the nature of the question, that was my assumption also.I wondered about that but I presume you would adjust the supply to be just high enough to keep the regulator happy.
That seems like the most reasonable assumption to make.I wondered about that but I presume you would adjust the supply to be just high enough to keep the regulator happy.
