A transformer has 50 turns in the primary coil and 1000 turns in the secondary coil. If the primary voltage is 220V, what is the secondary voltage? MCQ with Answer and Explanation
A transformer has 50 turns in the primary coil and 1000 turns in the secondary coil. If the primary voltage is 220V, what is the secondary voltage?
A. 440 V
B. 11 V
C. 4400 V
D. 22000 V
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The transformer equation relates voltages to the number of turns: V_secondary / V_primary = N_secondary / N_primary. We have N_p = 50, N_s = 1000, and V_p = 220V. Substituting the values gives V_s / 220 = 1000 / 50. V_s = 220 * 20 = 4400 Volts. This is a step-up transformer, increasing the voltage strictly by a factor of 20.
Explanation:
Lactometer is a specialized hydrometer for measuring milk purity/density. It works on Archimedes' principle: pure milk has specific density; adulteration (with water) changes density, altering lactometer reading. While it measures density, its specific application is milk testing. Option B is partially correct but not specific; competitive exams expect the precise application. Memory tip: 'Lacto = milk; meter = measure'. This application-based question tests knowledge of scientific instruments in daily life, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always note context-specific uses of general instruments.
