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.

Imagine you could travel to the moon where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.6 m/s^2. What would be the period of
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

4.9612 s

Explanation:

Applying,

T = 2π√(L/g)............... Equation 1

Where T = period of the pendulum, L = Lenght of the pendulum, g = acceleration due to gravity of the moon, π = pie.

From the question,

Given: L = 1 m, g = 1.6 m/s²

Constant: π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 1

T = 2×3.14×√(1/1.6)

T = 6.28√(0.625)

T = 6.28×0.79

T = 4.9612 s

A force does 30000 J of work along a distance of 9.5m. Find the applied force.
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: F=3158N

Explanation:

Work is the product of force applied and the distance the object moves along the force applied. Work is measured in joules and the equation is as follows

W = F x d

So that F = W/d

F = 30000 J / 9.5m

F = ~3158 N
