Transformer turns ratio N_p:N_s = 1:5. If V_p = 100V, V_s is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Transformer turns ratio N_p:N_s = 1:5. If V_p = 100V, V_s is:
A. 500V
B. 20V
C. 100V
D. 2500V
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
V_s/V_p = N_s/N_p ⇒ V_s = 100×(5/1) = 500V. Step-up transformer increases voltage. Memory aid: 'Turns ratio = voltage ratio; current ratio inverse'. Direct transformer formula application frequently tested in competitive exams with ratio calculations.

Question #1
Nuclear reactor moderator function:
A. Shield radiation
B. Slow neutrons
C. Absorb neutrons
D. Emit neutrons

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Moderator (water, graphite) slows fast neutrons to thermal energies for efficient fission in U-235. Control rods absorb neutrons to regulate reaction. Memory tip: 'Moderator = neutron slower; Control rods = neutron absorber'. Reactor component function frequently tested in competitive nuclear physics questions.

Question #2
A ray of light is incident on a glass slab at angle i. The emergent ray is:
A. Parallel to incident ray but laterally displaced
B. Perpendicular to incident ray
C. Bent away from the normal
D. Bent towards the normal

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In a parallel-sided glass slab, refraction at first surface bends ray towards normal; at second surface (glass to air), it bends away by equal angle, making emergent ray parallel to incident ray but shifted laterally. No net deviation, only displacement. Memory aid: 'Slab: emergent ray parallel to incident; prism: emergent ray deviated'. This ray optics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always distinguish slab (parallel faces) from prism (non-parallel faces) behavior: slab causes lateral shift, prism causes angular deviation.

Question #3
Satellite orbital velocity v = √(GM/r). If radius doubles, velocity becomes:
A. Half
B. 1/√2 times
C. Same
D. √2 times

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
v ∝ 1/√r. If r' = 2r, v' = v/√2. Orbital velocity decreases with increasing radius. Memory aid: 'Higher orbit ⇒ slower speed; v ∝ r⁻¹/²'. Proportional reasoning question testing gravitation formula application, frequently appearing in competitive exams without heavy calculation.
