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.

A force of 10N is required to stretch a spring from 20cm to 25cm. What is the spring constant in N/m2 Be careful of unit
kupik [55]

Answer:

C) 40 N/m

Explanation:

If we ASSUME that the spring is un-stretched at the zero cm position

k = F/Δx = 10/0.25 = 40 N/m

You plan to take your hair blower to europe, where the electrical outlets put out 240 v instead of the 120 v seen in the united
Eddi Din [679]
P = U × I
I = P / U = 1600W / 120V = 13.4A
P = 240V × 13.4A = 3216W

If your hair blower isnt rated for 220- 230V(this is the voltage in EU) you are most likely going to burn it.
