  4. A is false and R is also false.
Assertion: We use a thick wire in the secondary coil ofa step down transformer to reduce the production of heat.
Reason: When the plane of the armature is parallel to the line of force of magnetic field, the magnitude of induced e.m.f. is maximum.

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

A step-down transformer converts electrical energy from a high voltage to one at a low voltage. Accordingly the current in the secondary will be larger than that in the primary. ln order to produce less heat in the secondary, we use a wire oflesser resistance i.e. thick wire. We also know that when the plane of the armature is parallel to the lines of force of magnetic field, the rate of change of magnetic flux linked with it is maximum. Therefore the e.m.f. induced in the armature in this orientation is maximum.
