A transformer works on the principle of: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A transformer works on the principle of:
A. Mutual induction
B. Electromagnetic repulsion
C. Self-induction
D. Electrostatic induction
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
A transformer operates on the principle of mutual induction. It consists of primary and secondary coils. When an alternating current flows through the primary coil, it generates a changing magnetic field. This fluctuating flux links with the secondary coil, inducing an alternating electromotive force (EMF) in it according to Faraday's Law.

Question #2
The dimension of Planck's constant is same as that of
A. Angular momentum
B. Energy
C. Force
D. Linear momentum

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Planck's constant h = E/ν, so its dimensions are [Energy]/[Frequency] = [ML²T⁻²]/[T⁻¹] = [ML²T⁻¹]. Angular momentum = mvr = M·LT⁻¹·L = [ML²T⁻¹]. Energy = [ML²T⁻²], linear momentum = [MLT⁻¹], force = [MLT⁻²]. Thus, Planck's constant and angular momentum share dimensions. This is a key dimensional match in quantum mechanics.

Question #3
Two resistors in series have equivalent 6 Ω, in parallel 4/3 Ω. Individual resistors are
A. 2 Ω and 4 Ω
B. 2 Ω and 2 Ω
C. 3 Ω and 3 Ω
D. 1 Ω and 5 Ω

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Series: R1+R2=6. Parallel: (R1×R2)/(6)=4/3 => R1R2=8. Solving: R1,R2 = 2,4.
