A transformer steps up 220 V to 2200 V. The turn ratio (secondary to primary) is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A transformer steps up 220 V to 2200 V. The turn ratio (secondary to primary) is
A. 1:10
B. 1:1
C. 10:1
D. 220:1
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
For ideal transformer, V_s/V_p = N_s/N_p. So N_s/N_p = 2200/220 = 10. So secondary turns 10 times primary. Ratio 10:1. Step-up increases voltage.

Question #1
A body of weight 20 N is immersed in water, apparent loss in weight is 5 N. Buoyant force is
A. 15 N
B. 5 N
C. 25 N
D. 20 N

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Apparent loss in weight = buoyant force = weight in air - weight in water = 5 N. Archimedes principle. Apparent weight = 20-5 = 15 N.

Question #2
A wave has frequency 50 Hz and wavelength 2 m. Its speed is:
A. 200 m/s
B. 100 m/s
C. 25 m/s
D. 50 m/s

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Wave speed v = frequency (f) × wavelength (λ). Thus v = 50 Hz × 2 m = 100 m/s. This fundamental wave equation applies to all periodic waves (sound, light, water). Memory aid: 'v = fλ – the universal wave equation'. Competitive exams frequently test this direct calculation. Always ensure units: Hz = s⁻¹, so (s⁻¹)×m = m/s, correct for speed. This problem assesses basic wave property understanding, crucial for sound and light topics.

Question #3
When a body is moving in a uniform circular motion, the work done by the centripetal force is zero because:
A. The force is extremely weak.
B. The body has no kinetic energy.
C. The force is always perpendicular to the instantaneous displacement.
D. The force is balanced by an outward centrifugal force.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Work done is given by W = F * d * cos(theta). In uniform circular motion, the centripetal force is always directed strictly towards the center of the circle, while the instantaneous displacement (velocity vector) is tangential to the circle. The angle (theta) between them is exactly 90 degrees. Since cos(90) = 0, the work done by the centripetal force is always zero.
