Answer:
Transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltage of AC currents
Explanation:
A transformer is a device consisting of two coils (called primary and secondary coil) wrapped at the two sides of a soft iron core. When an AC current is present in the primary coil, it induces a magnetic field inside the core, and the presence of this changing magnetic field induces a voltage (and a current) into the secondary coil.
The voltages in the primary and the secondary coil are related by the transformer equation:

where
Vp, Vs are the voltages in the primary and secondary coil
Np, Ns are the number of turns in the primary and secondary coil
There are two types of transformers:
- Step-up transformers: these have
, so that
, which means that they increase the voltage. They are used to increase the voltage of the AC current produced by the power plants, before being sent into the transmission lines.
- Step-down transformers: these have
, so that
, which means that they decrease the voltage. They are used at the end of the transmission lines, before the houses, in order to decrease the voltage and allow the household appliances to work properly (in fact, household appliances need lower voltages to work)
Here is the correct answer of the given question above. When a person steps forward out of a small boat onto a dock, the boat recoils backward in the water and this occurs because the total momentum of the system is conserved. Hope this helps.
Answer:
0.0334N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
M1 = 5 x 10⁶kg
M2 = 1 x 10⁶kg
Distance = 100m
Unknown:
Gravitational force = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we use the Newton's law of universal gravitation.
Fg =
G is the universal gravitation constant
m is the mass
r is the distance
Fg =
= 0.0334N
