1.

Which of the following best describes the main function of a transformer in an electrical circuit?

a)

To convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC)

b)

To increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current (AC) supply

c)

To store electrical energy

d)

To measure electrical resistance

2.

What is the correct transformer equation relating the number of turns and voltages in the primary and secondary coils?

a)

VpVs=NsNp\frac{V_p}{V_s} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}

b)

VpVs=NpNs\frac{V_p}{V_s} = \frac{N_p}{N_s}

c)

Vp×Np=Vs×NsV_p \times N_p = V_s \times N_s

d)

Vp+Vs=Np+NsV_p + V_s = N_p + N_s
