COMEDK · Physics · 23. Alternating Current

The primary of a transformer when connected to a DC battery of \(10 \mathrm{~V}\) draws a current of \(1 \mathrm{~mA}\). 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

  1. A \(20 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(2.0 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  2. B \(10 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(0.5 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  3. C \(0\) and \(0\)
  4. D \(20 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(0.5 \mathrm{~mA}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0\) and \(0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A transformer does not work on DC supply because mutual induction does not take place due to constant value of current. So, \(V_{\mathrm{S}}=0\) and \(I_{\mathrm{S}}=0\).
