Solution Summary

This posting contains the answer and explanation to the given questions regarding switch mode power supply.

Solution Preview

A switch more power supply incorporates an inductor, a switch and a control to the switch to produce a DC output. The charging and discharging of the inductor through switch control determine the amount of voltage output to the load. The switching nature of this power supply reduces the power consumption of the power supply as it only consumes most of the power when the switch is on.
