Question

(i) Draw a labelled diagram of a step-up transformer and describe its working principle. Explain any three causes for energy losses in a real transformer. (ii) A step-up transformer converts a low voltage into high voltage. Does it violate the principle of conservation of energy ? Explain. (iii) A step-up transformer has 200 and 3000 turns in its primary and secondary coils respectively. The input voltage given to the primary coil is 90 V. Calculate : (1) The output voltage across the secondary coil (2) The current in the primary coil if the current in the secondary coil is 2·0 A.

The primary and the secondary coils of an ideal step-down transformer consist of 650 and 25 turns respectively. When the primary coil of this transformer is connected to 240 V mains, the current in the primary coil is 1·5 A. Calculate :
