Question
Name two factors on which the magnitude of an induced e.m.f. in the secondary coil depends.
Advertisements
Solution
The magnitude of e.m.f. induced in the secondary coil depends on the following two factors:
- The ratio of the number of turns in the secondary coil to the number of turns in the primary coil (i.e., turns ratio).
- The magnitude of e.m.f applied in the primary coil.

A group of students while coming from the school noticed a box marked "Danger H.T. 2200 V" at a substation in the main street. They did not understand the utility of a such a high voltage, while they argued, the supply was only 220 V. They asked their teacher this question the next day. The teacher thought it to be an important question and therefore explained to the whole class.

(i) What device is used to bring the high voltage down to low voltage of a.c. current and what is the principle of its working ?
(ii) Is it possible to use this device for bringing down the high dc voltage to the low voltage? Explain
(iii) Write the values displayed by the students and the teacher.
