Difference between Control and Regulation
Explaining the technical difference between control and regulation in simple terms

Regulation: 

Regulation involves a continuous adjustment based on measured values. Imagine you want to maintain a constant temperature in a room. A thermostat continually measures the temperature and adjusts it to ensure it stays close to the desired value. This is regulation – a dynamic adjustment to achieve a specific goal.

Control: 

Control is more like a fixed setting without constant adjustments. Suppose you turn on a light. You decide it should be on but not necessarily how bright it needs to be. That's control – a one-time setting of a state or value without ongoing adjustments.

In summary,...

regulation is continuous and actively responsive to changes, while control is more of a fixed setting without continuous adjustments.
