AC Generator & Transformer
The primary of a transformer when connected to a dc battery of 10 Volt draws a current of 1 mA. The number of turns of the primary and secondary windings are 50 and 100 respectively. The voltage in the secondary and the current drawn by the circuit in the secondary are respectively
Show answer and solution
Answer: (c)
- A transformer works only on changing flux (mutual induction).
- Steady dc in the primary gives constant flux, so in the secondary.
- Induced emf in the secondary is zero, so no secondary current.
- So the answer is (c) zero volt and therefore no current.
