The primary winding has more coils than the secondary winding

Explanation:

A transformer is a device consisting of two coils (called primary and secondary coil) wrapped around a soft iron core. As the primary coil is connected to alternate voltage, a variable magnetic field inside the iron core is produced; the lines of this field cut also the secondary coil, and due to the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction, an e.m.f is produced in the secondary coil (so, an alternate voltage).

The voltages in the two coils are related by the transformer equation:

\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{N_1}{N_2} (1)

where

V_1 is the voltage in the primary coil

V_2 is the voltage in the secondary coil

N_1 is the number of turns in the primary coil

N_2 is the number of turns in the secondary coil

In a step-down transformer, the voltage in the secondary coil is lower than the voltage in the primary coil (they are used to decrease the voltage in input), therefore:

\frac{V_1}{V_2}>1

which means, according to eq.(1),

\frac{N_1}{N_2}>1

So

N_2

Therefore the correct answer is

The primary winding has more coils than the secondary winding.

Give two examples of workplace environments where considerations must be made with respect to the possibility of electric discha
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

1.) Oil and gas environment

2.) Mechanical engineering and electrical environment.

Explanation:

1.) Oil and gas environment.

Electricity and electric discharge are recognized as serious workplace hazard in oil and gas companies, exposing employees to burns, fires, and explosions.

2.) Mechanical engineering and electrical environment.

Electricity or electric discharge has long been recognized as a serious workplace hazard, exposing employees to electric shock, electrocution, burns, fires, and explosions. Workers could die from electrocutions at work. This is

accounting for on-the-job fatalities and what makes these more tragic is that most of these fatalities could have been easily avoided.

An object is placed near a concave mirror having a radius of curvature of magnitude 60 cm. How far should you place the object f
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

u = 18 cm

Explanation:

given,

radius of curvature = 60 cm

magnification of mirror = 2.5

distance of object  = ?

R = 2 f

f = R/2

f = 60/2 = 30 cm

m = -\dfrac{v}{u}

2.5 = -\dfrac{v}{u}

v = -2.5 u

now,

Using mirror formula

\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{v} + \dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{30} = \dfrac{1}{-2.5u} + \dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{30} = \dfrac{0.6}{u}

u = 0.6 x 30

u = 18 cm

distance of object be equal to u = 18 cm

The formula we will be using is;F = G m1 m2 / r^2 
F earth = 308N 
F moon = G me m2 / (81.3 * 0.27^2 RE^2) = 1/5.927 G me m2 / RE^2 = F earth / 5.927 = 52 N is the force of the earth
So the answer in this question is 52 N.
