The following diagram in Fig. 10.44 shows a coil X connected to a sensitive centre –zero galvanometer G and a coil P connected to a battery through a switch S.

(a) Describe the observation when the switch S is (i) closed suddenly, (ii) then kept closed, (iii) finally opened.
(b) Name and state the law which explains the above observations.
State the principle of working of a transformer. Can a transformer be used to step up or step down a d.c. voltage? Justify your answer.
The input and output voltages of a transformer are 220 V and 44V respectively. Find the current in input circuit if the output current is 2 A.
An a.c generator generates an emf 'ε' where ε = 314 Sin (50πt) volt. Calculate the frequency of emf ε.
Name three losses of energy in a transformer. How are they minimized?
A transformer lowers e.m.f. from 220 V to 15 V. If 400 W power is given in primary, calculate (i) the current in primary coil and (ii) the current in secondary coil.
Read the following paragraph and answer the question:

Long distance power transmissions
The large-scale transmission and distribution of electrical energy over long distances is done with the use of transformers. The voltage output of the generator is stepped up. It is then transmitted over long distances to an area sub-station near the consumers. There the voltage is stepped down. It is further stepped down at distributing sub-stations and utility poles before a power supply of 240 V reaches our homes.
We need to step-up the voltage for power transmission, so that ______.
A transformer is essentially an a.c. device. It cannot work on d.c. It changes alternating 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 numbers of turns and wound on the same soft iron core.
The number of turns in the primary and secondary coils of an ideal transformer is 2000 and 50 respectively. The primary coil is connected to a main supply of 120 V and secondary coil is connected to a bulb of resistance 0.6 Ω.
The value of voltage across the secondary coil is ______.
How do the input and output powers in a transformer compare? State the assumption made.
