Transformers

The function of a transformer is to ...

• raise and lower the apparent power levels

• transfer DC voltage from the primary winding to the secondary winding

• increase or decrease A.C voltage or A.C current levels

• transform mechanical energy into electrical energy

Choose the correct statement:

• The ratio of the secondary voltage to the primary voltage is equal to the ratio of the primary turn to the secondary turn

• The ratio of the primary current to the secondary current is equal to the ratio of the primary voltage to the secondary voltage

• The ratio of the primary apparent power to the secondary apparent power is equal to the ration of the primary voltage to the secondary voltage

• The ratio of the secondary current to the primary current is equal to the ratio of the primary turn to the secondary turn

Mutual induction means: (Choose the correct statement)

• A conductor (wire) placed in a varying magnetic field will have a current induced in it

• A conductor produces varying magnetic field

• Two conductors must be connected together to produce current

• Two conductors cannot used magnetic field to produce current

choose all step down transformers

• TV adapter

• Mobile charger

• Transformer outside the homes

• Transformers outside power generating stations

Assume primary has 240 turns and secondary has 60 turns. Primary is connected with 120V AC power supply. What is the voltage on the secondary?

• 30 V

• 0.333 V

• 2 V

• 120V

Ratio of voltages is equal to ratio of

• iron sheets in core
• coil
• number of turns in coil
• all of above

Will a transformer work with direct current (d.c.) or alternating current (a.c.)?

• a.c. only
• d.c. only
• Both a.c. and d.c.
