Alternating Current

  1. ​The primary winding of a transformer has 500 turns whereas its secondary has 5000 turns. The primary is connected to an A.C. supply of 20 V, 50 Hz. The secondary will have an output of
    1. 2 V, 5 Hz ​
    2. 200 V, 500 Hz
    3. 2V, 50 Hz
    4. 200 V, 50 Hz
Correct Option: D

The transformer converts A.C. high voltage into A.C. low voltage, but it does not cause any change in frequency. The formula for voltage is

Es = Ns
EpNp

⇒ Es =Ns× Ep
Np

=5000× 20 = 200V
500

Thus, output has voltage 200 V and frequency 50 Hz.
