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. 11 V
C. 440 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.

D. 1 m/s

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Conservation of momentum: 0 = (0.02×200) + (5×v) => v = -4/5 = -0.8 m/s (magnitude 0.8 m/s).

Question #3
In a potentiometer, the sensitivity can be increased by:
A. Decreasing the length of the wire
B. Increasing the length of the wire
C. Increasing the current in the primary circuit
D. Using a thicker wire

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Potentiometer sensitivity (ability to detect small EMF changes) increases with longer wire because potential gradient (V/cm) decreases, allowing finer measurement of balancing length. Sensitivity ∝ length of wire. Decreasing length (B) reduces sensitivity; increasing current (C) increases potential gradient, reducing sensitivity; thicker wire (D) reduces resistance but doesn't directly affect sensitivity if current adjusted. Memory tip: 'Longer potentiometer wire ⇒ smaller potential gradient ⇒ higher sensitivity'. This experimental physics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always link sensitivity to potential gradient: smaller gradient allows detection of smaller voltage differences.
