Is this an appropriate way to test a 7805?
Trying to check some 7805 voltage regulators. I do not have a DC power supply and do not want to test with the circuit hooked up to mains. That leaves me and my multi-meter.

Why is there always a capacitor on input and output of a voltage regulator?
Looking at the datasheet I can see that the voltage regulators are not just a zenner diode inside, they are complex devices. I have noticed that there is always a capacitor at the input and another ...

Solar cells with 5v regulator: would it supply more current than available?
I recently bought online three solar panels rated 6v x 500 mA for some circuits I had in mind. What I got instead were 12v cells, and I am certain they are rated 250mA, since the seller had those too.

What is the purpose of the 7805 input capacitor?
Most 7805 datasheets specify an input capacitor of 0.33uF or so. This one (the LM340 http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm340-n.pdf) at least specifies that the cap is only required if the regulator is "...
