Electrical Transformers

Primary winding of a transformer is determined by _________.

• which winding has more turns

• which winding is nearer to the load

• which winding is connected to the source

• which side has the highest voltage

What type of transformer is used to increase the voltage from power stations?

• Step-down transformer

• Step-up transformer

Why transformers work with A.C. current but not D.C.

• A.C current produces changing magnetic field.

• D.C current produces changing magnetic field.

• D.C current is weak

• A.C current is powerful
