Question
A transformer is essentially an a.c. device. It cannot work on d.c. It changes altemating voltages or currents. It does not affect the frequency of a.c. It is based on the phenomenon of mutual induction. A transformer essentially consists of two coils of insulated copper wire having different number of tums and wound on the same soft iron core.
The number of turns in the primary and secondary coils of an ideal transfonner are 2000 and 50 respectively. The primary coil is connected to a main supply of 120V and secondary coil is connected to a bulb of resistance $0.6\Omega.$
  1. The value of voltage across the secondary coil is:
  1. 5V
  2. 2V
  3. 3V
  4. 10V
  1. The value of current in the bulb is:
  1. 7A
  2. 15A
  3. 3A
  4. 5A
  1. The value of current in primary coil is:
  1. 0.125A
  2. 2.52A
  3. 1.51A
  4. 3.52A
  1. Power in primary coil is:
  1. 20W
  2. 5W
  3. 10W
  4. 15W
  1. Power in secondary coil is:
  1. 15W
  2. 20W
  3. 7W
  4. 8W

Answer

  1. (c) 3V

Explanation:

As, $\frac{\text{E}_\text{s}}{\text{E}_\text{p}}=\frac{\text{n}_\text{s}}{\text{n}_\text{p}}$

$\Rightarrow\text{E}_\text{s}=\text{E}_\text{p}\times\frac{\text{n}_\text{p}}{\text{n}_\text{p}}$

$=\frac{120\times50}{2000}=3\text{V}$

  1. (d) 5A

Explanation:

$\text{I}_0=\frac{\text{E}_\text{S}}{\text{R}}\Rightarrow\text{I}_0=\frac{3}{0.6}=5\text{A}$

  1. (a) 0.125A

Explanation:

As, $\frac{\text{I}_\text{P}}{\text{I}_\text{S}}=\frac{\text{E}_\text{S}}{\text{E}_\text{P}}$

$\Rightarrow\text{I}_\text{p}=\frac{\text{E}_\text{S}}{\text{E}_\text{P}}\times\text{I}_\text{S}=\frac{3}{120}\times5=0.125\text{A}$

  1. (d) 15W

Explanation:

Power in primary, PP = EP × IP = 120 × 0.125

= 15W

  1. (a) 15W

Explanation:

Power in secondary coil, PS = ES × IS = 3 × 5

= 15W

Step-down transformers are used to decrease or step-down voltages. These are used when voltages need to be lowered for use in homes and factories. A small town with a demand of 800kW of electric power at 220V is situated 15km away from an electric plant generating power at 440V. The resistance of the two wire line carrying power is 0.5Q per km. The town gets power from the line through a 4000 - 220V step-down transformer at a sub-station in the town.

  1. The value of total resistance of the wires is:
  1. $25\Omega$
  2. $30\Omega$

A solenoid 60 cm long and of radius 4.0 cm has 3 layers of windings of 300 turns each. A 2.0 cm long wire of mass 2.5 g lies inside the solenoid (near its centre) normal to its axis; both the wire and the axis of the solenoid are in the horizontal plane. The wire is connected through two leads parallel to the axis of the solenoid to an external battery which supplies a current of 6.0 A in the wire. What value of current (with appropriate sense of circulation) in the windings of the solenoid can support the weight of the wire? g = 9.8 m s–2.
