- @If a current flows through a thin wire, which of the following effects are produced?
- Heat & a magnetic effect
- A magnetic field
- Heat
-
- @A transformer has a primary current of 2A and a voltage of 12V. If the secondary current is 1A, what is the secondary voltage?
- 24V
- 48V
- 6V
-
- @What kind of magnetic field flows in the core of a transformer?
- Alternating field
- A spiral magnetic field
- A steady magnetic field
-
- @If you have a step-up transformer, which one of the following is true?
- The output voltage is greater than the input voltage
- The output current is greater than the input current
- There are more turns on the primary coil than on the secondary
-
- @The primary coil of a transformer has 0.5A and 240V. The secondary voltage is 12V, what is the current?
- 10A
- 0.025A
- 5A
-
- @If a transformer is 100% efficient then which of the following statements is true?
- The power you put in is the same as the power you get out
- There is more power out than you put inĀ
- All the power is used up within the transformer
-
- @What is a typical voltage on the National Grid
- 400,000V a.c
- 240V a.c
- 575,000V d.c
-
- @Which one of the following is not a part of a transformer?
- Relay coil
- Primary coil
- Laminated core
-
- @A transformers secondary coil has 1A and 120V. If the primary coil has 240V, what is the current?
- 0.5A
- 1A
- 10A
-
- @Why is the core of a transformer laminated?
- To reduce heat loss by Eddy currents
- Because it is cheaper to produce
- Because it makes the magnetic field flow faster
-
- @Transformers are not 100% efficient because:
- some energy is lost in 'Eddy currents'
- the resistance of the coils is always very high
- they have cores of iron
-
- @Electrical power is sent around the country by the National Grid. Very high voltages are used because:
- energy losses are kept to a minimum
- high currents need to be generated
- large distances have to be covered
-
- @Transformers use a.c supplies to make them work. What does the 'a' of a.c stand for?
- Alternating
- Altered
- Amplitude
-
- @Transformers change:
- One a.c current into another a.c currentĀ
- A d.c current into an a.c current
- An a.c current to a d.c current
-
- @Which one of the following is the most suitable for the core of an electromagnet?
- Iron
- Aluminium
- Copper
-
- @The approximate voltage of the National Grid system is:
- #natgrid
- 250,000V
- 240V
- 13V
-
- @Just before the energy is sent through pylons it passes through a step-up transformer. This:
- #natgrid
- Increases the voltage
- Increases the current
- Reduces the resistance of the cables
-
- @Birds sitting on power cables are not killed because:
- #natgrid
- They do not complete an electrical circuit
- Their feet do not conduct electricity
- The current is not high enough to hurt them
-
- @As electricity is sent around the country through pylons:
- #natgrid
- energy losses are kept to a minimum by using high voltages
- most of the energy is lost in heating effects
- some energy is lost as it passes through the pylon to earth
-
- @A person foolisly uses a kite near a pylon and cables. Under what circumstances are they likely to be killed?
- If the kite passes near to the cable
- Only if the kite touches the wire
- When its very damp weather, and the string touches two or more of the cables
