When there is no load there is no current hence the internal resistance drop is zero. But when we connect a load current starts flowing. Hence some vol drop will appear across the internal resistance.

The output is measured across the load, if we assume ideal condition, the circuit with 0 resistance in wires, the entire voltage drops across the load so output voltage should remain constant.

Vo = Vs (with no load).

By voltage divider.
Vo = Vs(R/(R+RL)) (with load).

RL = across the load.

So the Voltage OUTPUT WILL DECREASE!

ASSUME A VALUE SO THAT YOU WILL UNDERSTAND!

Answer is A.

Because when we connect load than current drawn from grid will be increase. Than transmission losses will increase. So voltage at load side will decrease.

Initially supply voltage = output voltage.

After adding load:

Output voltage = [supply voltage - I*resistance of load] (from KVL).

So the output voltages decreases.

Voltage divider V(Rx) = Vi*Rx/(Rt). According to me voltage should increase if we are measuring output voltage across the resistor having resistance Rx.

Answer is A.

In no load case the o/p voltage is 12v but when me connect a load across it takes some power (volt) due to that o/p voltage is decreases.

Think simple as voltage divider applied in series circuit so if we connect more load automatically voltage decreases because voltage is divided.

When we connect the load some voltage is drop at the load so total o/p volt. is decreases.

@Shibam Jha.

I have some doubt. Why are you using this formula?
