Yes. Almost every electronic device consumes energy, however small. However the power draw of a voltage regulator is extremely tiny, typically less than 1mA. As such, they usually save more power than they consume.

What is Voltage rise?
Voltage Rise : The energy added to a circuit. Voltage drop: The energy removed from the circuit.
Do robots use energy?
most robot consume electrical energy
Is the output power more than input power in a transformer?
No. By "energy", you must mean "power"? Energy = power * time. Anyway, No transformer can step up energy. Even in a perfect transformer, you would only receive the energy output equal to the energy input. There is always some loss of energy due to resistance of the windings and unwanted electrical currents induced in the core. Both convert some of the energy input into heat.
Can the amount of energy carried by a power line be increased by raising voltage?
Yes, by increasing the voltage in a power line, the amount of energy carried can be increased. This is because power (P) is the product of voltage (V) and current (I), and increasing the voltage while keeping the current constant will result in higher power carrying capacity. However, it is important to consider the limitations of the equipment and the safety considerations when increasing voltage levels.
What is the role of voltage in an electrical circuit?
Voltage is related to energy by charge. Power equals voltage times current (amperes), and energy equals voltage times charge (coulombs).An ampere is 1 coulomb of charge moving per second.A watt (power) is 1 joule of work done (or energy transferred) per second.
When was Council of European Energy Regulators created?
Council of European Energy Regulators was created in 2000.
When was Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators created?
Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators was created in 2010.
Why do some regulators need a heatsink?
Most linear regulators absorb the amount of energy equal to (Vin-Vout)*I where Vin is the voltage into the regulator, Vout is the regulated output voltage, and I is the current flowing through the regulator. This energy is dissipated as heat. As to much heat will burn the device out, a heatsink is needed where the die of the device cannot adequately dissipate the waste heat into the atmosphere.
What is difference between resistance regulator and electronic regulator of Fan Also tell you material used in construction of both?
Resistance type Regulator uses Resistance & a selector switch to control the voltage. Actually in resistance type regulator the voltage control is done by voltage drop in resitance (converted into heat energy), which causes energy loss/wastage at lower speeds. Whereas Electronic Regulators uses Triac or SCR based circuit and controls the firing pulse to reduce the output voltage. Here power loss is less at low speed in comparision to resitance type regulator. Only disadvantage in local or cheaper Electonic regulators that at low speed Harmonic occurs which causes humming & heating up of Fan. Now a days Energy saver electronic regulators are also available which do not causes radio interference or haronics.
Decreasing voltage would do what to the power consumed by a lamp in dc theory?
Lamps don't 'consume' power; they consume energy. 'Power' merely tells us the rate at which they consume energy. For example, a 60-W lamp consumes energy at the rate of 60 joules every second.The rated power of a lamp applies only at its rated voltage (this information is printed on the lamp's glass envelope).A lamp's behaviour when you reduce its voltage is complicated, because as the temperature of its tungsten filament (I assume you are referring to an incandescent lamp) falls, so does its resistance so there is no direct relationship to the drop in voltage and the corresponding drop in power. All that can be said is that a small drop in voltage results in a verymuch larger drop in power, which is why the brightness of a lamp very often is a guide to whether the mains (supply) voltage has fallen. But if you are asking for a percentage relationship between the two, then there is no straightforward answer.
Why does voltmeter practically not consume any electric energy from the electric circuit?
The resistance used in a voltmeter is extremely high when measuring voltage, which is why the current is low (I = E/R).
