Answer:

Height above a surface

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy which an object possesses due to its position above a surface.

It is also the amount of work a force has to do in order to bring an object from a particular position to a point of reference.

It is given mathematically as:

P. E. = m*g*h

where m = mass of the body

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height above a surface

m*g represents the weight of the object.

Hence, Gravitational potential energy is the product of an object's weight and its height above a surface/reference point.

A student decides they would like to have hands-on experience when it comes to transformers. The student takes an iron core (squ
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a ) 3 v

b ) 400 mA

Explanation:

In case of transformer there is relation between no of turns in primary and secondary coils and voltage input and output as follows

V₁ / V₂ = n₁ / n₂

Where V₁ and V₂ are input and output voltage and n₁ and n₂ are no of turns of primary and secondary coils.

Here V₁ = 1.5 v , V₂ = ? , n₁ = 10 , n₂ = 20

Put the values in the equation above

1.5 / V₂ = 10 / 20

V₂ = 3 v.

Similarly formula for current is as follows

I₁ / I₂ = n₂ / n₁

Whereas I₁ and I₂ are current in primary and secondary coil

Put the values in the equation above

I₁ / 200 mA = 20 / 10

I₁ = 400 mA.
