SB Transformer 1 The following diagram shows a simple transformer built by a student gu wl dc power supply ‘The bulbs do not light up when the switch is switched on. (a) In the diagram above, circle the mistake done by the student. Reason:2 Compare and contrast the following aspects of a step-up transformer and a step-down transformer. [iJ Step-up transformer Step-down transformer (a) Type of current: (b) Main structures: @) (©) The primary coil has ( more / less ) number of turns compared to the secondary coil, The primary coil has ( more / less) number of turns compared to the secondary coil. (©) The primary coil has ( higher / lower ) voltage compared to the secondary coil. The primary coil has (higher / lower ) voltage compared to the secondary coil. (g) The primary coil has ( greater / smaller ) current compared to the secondary coil. ‘The primary coil has ( greater / smaller ) current compared to the secondary coil.3 Based on the changes in the voltage, state the type of transformer used in the following electrical appliances, (a) ‘Type of transformers: ) ‘Type of transformers LCD sereen 19.5V 240 V4 | Write the formula for the relationship between the voltage and the number of turns in the primary and secondary coils in a transformer: 5 Solve the following (a) A6V bulb receives an alternating current power 250 V from a transformer. The number of turns of the primary coil is 1 500. @_— What is the number of turns in the secondary coil? Gi) What is the type of the transformer? (b) The following diagram shows a transformer. ac. supply (12 V) Oe B2 (i) Which bulb lights up brighter? (ii) Calculate the output voltage if the numbers of turns of the primary coil and the secondary coil are 2000 and 800 respectively.
