Alternating Current - Result Question 34

36. The primary of a transformer when connected to a de 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

[NEET Kar. 2013]

(a) $20 V$ and $0.5 mA$

(b) $20 V$ and $2.0 mA$

(c) $10 V$ and $0.5 mA$

(d) Zero and therefore no current

Answer:

Correct Answer: 36. (d)

Solution:

  1. (d) A transformer is essentially an $A C$ device. $D C$ source so no mutual induction between coils

$\Rightarrow E_2=0$ and $I_2=0$
