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. 4400 V
B. 440 V
C. 11 V
D. 22000 V
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
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.

Question #1
The pressure at a point in a fluid at rest depends on:
A. Shape of the container
B. Volume of the fluid
C. Area of the surface
D. Depth below the free surface

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Hydrostatic pressure P = P₀ + ρgh, where h is depth below free surface, ρ fluid density, g gravity. Pressure depends only on depth, not container shape, surface area, or total volume (Pascal's paradox). This is a fundamental result in fluid statics. Memory aid: 'Pressure increases linearly with depth'. Competitive exams often test this independence from container geometry to assess deep understanding versus misconceptions. Always recall that pressure is scalar and acts equally in all directions at a point in static fluid.

The temperature coefficient of resistance of a semiconductor is
A. Positive
B. Negative
C. Zero
D. Infinite

Correct Answer: Option B

Question #3
A block of mass 5 kg is pushed against a wall with a horizontal force of 50 N. Coefficient of friction 0.4. The block (g=10)
A. Moves sideways
B. Falls down
C. Stays at rest
D. Moves up

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Weight = 50 N. Max static friction = μN = 0.4×50 = 20 N, insufficient to hold. So block slides down.
