In a step-up transformer, the primary coil has MCQ with Answer and Explanation

In a step-up transformer, the primary coil has
A. More turns and thinner wire
B. Fewer turns and thinner wire
C. More turns and thicker wire
D. Fewer turns and thicker wire
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Step-up: Ns > Np. Primary fewer turns, thicker wire because current higher on primary side (for step-up, Vp < Vs, Ip > Is).

Question #1
Which scientific instrument is used specifically for measuring very high temperatures, such as the surface temperature of the Sun or inside a furnace, from a distance?
A. Pyrometer
B. Cryometer
C. Calorimeter
D. Bolometer

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
A pyrometer is a non-contact thermometer used to measure high temperatures. It operates on the principle of thermal radiation (Stefan-Boltzmann law or Wien's law), measuring the intensity or spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the extremely hot object. A cryometer measures very low temperatures, and a calorimeter measures heat capacity.

Question #2
A stone is dropped from a height of 80 m. Time to reach ground (g=10) is
A. 16 s
B. 2 s
C. 8 s
D. 4 s

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
h = ½gt² => 80 = 5t² => t²=16 => t=4 s.

Question #3
A 10 kg object is falling freely under gravity. The net force acting on it is (g=10)
A. 10 N
B. 1 N
C. 100 N
D. 0 N

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Weight = mg = 10×10 = 100 N. In free fall, only force is gravity (air resistance neglected). Net force = weight, so F = 100 N, causing acceleration g.
