Answer:

(A-) Number of turns in secondary coil will be<u> less than 125.</u>

(B-) EXPLAIN- The voltage is to be lowered.<u> The voltage will be reduced from 120 to 9 volts.</u> As a result, a<u> step down transformer </u>will be used, indicating that the secondary coil's number of turns would be less than 125.

(C-)<u> The number of turns on the secondary coil is 12.5</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

  • STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER - A step-down transformer transforms high voltage (HV) and low current from the transformer's primary side to low voltage (LV) and high current on the secondary side. A phase down transformer is the opposite of this.

In electrical networks and transmission lines, a step-down transformer can be used in a number of ways.

<u>Step down transformer formula-</u>

                  V_s=\frac{N_s\times V_p}{N_p}

We are given with the -

Primary voltage V_p = 120V

Secondary voltage Vs=12V

Number of primary turns N_p=125

  • <u>To calculate the number of turns on the secondary coil -</u>

       Since , the transformer ratio is given as -

                   \frac{N_s}{N_p} =\frac{V_s}{V_p}

So, the number of turns on the secondary coil is - N_s=N_p\times\frac{V_p}{V_s}

            Putting , the given values -:

                125\times\frac{12}{120}

         =   12.5

<u>Therefore , the number of turns on secondary coil is 12.5 .</u>

The graph below is called a heating curve. It shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature a
Neporo4naja [7]

Explanation :

The heating curve shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature and the addition or removal of heat over time.

Initially, ice is heated until its temperature reaches 0^0\ C and changes to liquid state.

From the attached graph it is clear that until 100^0\ C the temperature will rise steadily. Here, the liquid begins to vaporize. Vaporization is the state of matter at which liquid state changes to the gaseous state.

So, E is the point which shows the gaseous state.

What problems do pathogens cause in our society?
kotegsom [21]

Pathogens are microorganisms that cause infectious diseases. Bacteria and viruses are the main pathogens in the world today.

The major problem that pathogen cause in society is that they are the agents of infection and disease. 

An infection results when a pathogen invades the body and begins growing within a host.  A disease results when tissue function is impaired due to an infection.

Due to diseases, affected people can not work  which negatively affects the economy, and the sick may end up dying causing a lot of grief, and robbing society of a father, a mother or child.

The government has to put money aside for health care which would otherwise have been used for other things to help the society.

If an electric wire is allowed to produce a magnetic field no larger than that of the Earth (0.503 X 104 T) at a distance of 15
dem82 [27]

Answer:

37.725 A

Explanation:

B = magnitude of the magnetic field produced by the electric wire = 0.503 x 10⁻⁴ T

r = distance from the wire where the magnetic field is noted = 15 cm = 0.15 m

i = magnitude of current flowing through the wire = ?

Magnetic field by a long wire is given as

B = \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi }\frac{2i}{r}

Inserting the values

0.503\times 10^{-4} = (10^{-7})\frac{2i}{0.15}

i = 37.725 A
