A transformer has 100 turns in primary and 200 turns in secondary. If primary voltage is 120 V, the secondary voltage is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A transformer has 100 turns in primary and 200 turns in secondary. If primary voltage is 120 V, the secondary voltage is:
A. 60 V
B. 240 V
C. 120 V
D. 480 V
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Transformer voltage ratio: V_s/V_p = N_s/N_p, where N is number of turns. Thus V_s = V_p × (N_s/N_p) = 120 V × (200/100) = 240 V. This assumes ideal transformer (no losses). Step-up transformer (N_s > N_p) increases voltage. Memory aid: 'Turns ratio = voltage ratio'. This direct formula application is frequent in competitive exams. Always verify if transformer is step-up or step-down from turn counts. Note: Current ratio is inverse: I_s/I_p = N_p/N_s for power conservation (V_pI_p = V_sI_s).

Question #1
The dimensional formula of angular momentum is:
A. [M⁰L⁰T⁰]
B. [MLT⁻¹]
C. [ML²T⁻¹]
D. [ML²T⁻²]

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Angular momentum L = r × p. Position r has [L], linear momentum p = mv has [MLT⁻¹], so L has [L][MLT⁻¹] = [ML²T⁻¹]. This matches Planck's constant dimensions. Option A is linear momentum; C is energy/torque; D is dimensionless. Memory aid: 'Angular momentum: [ML²T⁻¹]; same as action quantities'. This dimensional analysis question tests ability to derive formulas, crucial for competitive exams. Always break down compound quantities into fundamental dimensions (M, L, T) for verification and problem-solving.

Question #2
Frequency of sound wave determines:
A. Timbre
B. Pitch
C. Speed
D. Loudness

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Frequency → pitch perception: higher frequency = higher pitch. Loudness depends on amplitude; timbre on waveform; speed on medium properties. Memory aid: 'Frequency = pitch; Amplitude = loudness'. Basic sound property question frequently tested to verify perceptual attribute associations in competitive exams.

A 2 kg mass moving at 4 m/s collides elastically with a stationary 2 kg mass. After collision, first mass
A. Stops
B. Moves with 1 m/s
C. Rebounds with 4 m/s
D. Moves with 2 m/s

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Equal masses elastic collision: velocities swap. Moving mass stops, stationary moves with 4 m/s.
