Best Answer
Voltage regulators are intended to keep a certain voltage level, which is important for most electronics to run properly. Without a voltage regulator, if an electronic, such as a computer, receives too much voltage then it can fry the components.
Controls output of alternator so battery does not over or undercharge Should control voltage range from (when engine running) 13.8-14.2 volts Without voltage regulator: Voltage could go to 18-24 volts causing electrical components to burn out

What is the primary difference between the LM317 and LM337 regulators based on electrical engineering?

Both are 1.5A adjustable voltage regulators. The LM317 outputs a positive (with respect to ground) voltage, and the LM337 outputs a negative voltage.


How voltage stays constant in a closed electrical circuit?

A voltage regulator. Examples are the 78dd series of regulators where dd is the voltage, e.g. 7805, 7812. These work with a positive rail, the 79dd regulators work with a negative rail.


Any difference between regulators and modulators?

Yes; in electronics, the former is used to regulate voltage levels while modulators combine frequencies for the purpose of data transmission.
