Transformer turns ratio N_p:N_s = 1:5. If V_p = 100V, V_s is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Transformer turns ratio N_p:N_s = 1:5. If V_p = 100V, V_s is:
A. 2500V
B. 20V
C. 100V
D. 500V
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
V_s/V_p = N_s/N_p ⇒ V_s = 100×(5/1) = 500V. Step-up transformer increases voltage. Memory aid: 'Turns ratio = voltage ratio; current ratio inverse'. Direct transformer formula application frequently tested in competitive exams with ratio calculations.

A spring of spring constant k is stretched by x. The potential energy stored is
A. kx
B. ½kx
C. kx²
D. ½kx²

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Elastic potential energy stored in a stretched/compressed spring is ½kx², where x is displacement from equilibrium. This is work done against spring force which is average force times displacement. Work = ½Fx = ½(kx)x = ½kx². Similar to capacitor energy ½CV².

In a series circuit, which quantity remains the same across all components?
A. Voltage
B. Power
C. Resistance
D. Current

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In series circuits, current is the same through all components because there's only one path for charge flow. Voltage divides across components proportional to resistance (V = IR). Resistance and power vary per component. Memory aid: 'Series: same current; Parallel: same voltage'. This fundamental circuit property is frequently tested in competitive exams to assess basic electronics understanding. Always apply Kirchhoff's current law: current entering a junction equals current leaving; in series, no junctions, so current constant.
