Question
The primary coil of a transformer has 60 turns whereas its secondary coil has 3000 turns.
If a 220 V ac voltage is applied to the primary coil, how much emf is induced in the secondary coil?

Solution
The voltage of primary coils is
VP = 220 V
Let the voltage of secondary coil be VS.
Now `"N"_"s"/"N"_"P" = "V"_"S"/"V"_"P"`
⇒ `3000/60 = "V"_"S"/220`
⇒ VS = 50 × 220
= 11,000 volt
VS = 11,000 V

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.
Answer the following questions:
(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.
Why is the iron core of a transformer made laminated (thin sheets) instead of being in one solid piece?
Mention the two characteristic properties of the material suitable for making core of a transformer.
An a.c generator generates an emf 'ε' where ε = 314 Sin (50πt) volt. Calculate the frequency of emf ε.
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.
