@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 in
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 current
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
