In what sense can a transformer be considered an electrical lever? What does it multiply? What does it not multiply?

Physics

liberstina [14]3 years ago

Answer:

This is because it steps up or steps down electrical voltage. It multiplies either voltage (if it is a voltage transformer )or current (if it is a current transformer), but it does not multiply electrical power.

Explanation:

A transformer steps up or steps down electrical voltage, by transmitting power at a voltage, V₁ and Current I₁ at one terminal, to a voltage, V₂ and Current I₂ at its other terminals, just like a lever transmits force from one point to another. Since the power transmitted remains the same, (energy per unit time remains constant), I₁V₁ = I₂V₂ ⇒ I₁/I₂ = V₂/V₁ = n (the turns ratio of the transformer). So, the turns ratio will determine if its a step-up or step-down transformer. V₂ = nV₁. So, if V₁ > V₂ it is a step down transformer and if V₁ < V₂ it is a step-up transformer.It multiplies either voltage (if it is a voltage transformer )or current (if it is a current transformer), but it does not multiply electrical power, since P = IV = constant for the transformer.

If a car goes at a speed of 80 kph in 10 seconds, what is the distance
Blababa [14]

Answer:222 meters

Explanation:

Speed=80kph=(80x5/18)=(80x5)/18=22.2m/s

Time=10 seconds

distance=speed x time

distance=22.2 x 10

distance=222

distance=222 meters

Increasing the two objects will cause the gravitational force between the objects to decrease.
ELEN [110]
This statement is false. Increasing the two objects' mass (I'm guessing) will actually increase their gravitational force. This is because of the equation:

F_g =  \frac{Gm_1m_2}{d^2}

If the distance was increased, then the statement would be true, but since you are increasing mass, which is proportional to the Force of Gravity, you are in fact, increasing the gravitational force between the two objects.

Explain why the same side of the moon is always facing Earth.
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The moon keeps the same face pointing towards the Earth because its rate of spin is tidally locked so that it is synchronized with its rate of revolution (the time needed to complete one orbit). In other words, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.
