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

In an electromagnetic wave both the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to the direction of propagation, that is why electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature. Electromagnetic waves carry energy as they travel through space and this energy is shared equally by the electric and magnetic fields.

According to Einstein, when a photonoflight offrequencyu or wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photosensitive metal surface of work function $\phi_0$, where $\phi_0<\text{h}\upsilon$ (here, h is Planck's constant), then the emission of photoelectrons takes place. The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is given by $\text{K}_\text{max}=\text{h}\upsilon-\phi_0$. If the frequency of the incident light is $\upsilon_0$ called thresold frequency, the photoelectrons are emitted from metal without any kinetic energy. So $\text{h}\upsilon_0=\phi_0$.
