Question

What is produced when there is a current in the primary coil of a transformer? a. magnetic field b. nuclear field c. electric field d. solar field

Answer 1

A changing current in the primary induces an e.m.f. in the secondary. If the secondary is connected to a circuit then there is a current flow. A step-down transformer of 1,200 turns on the primary coil connected to 240 V a.c. will produce 2 V a.c.

hope this helps

Answer 2

a. magnetic field

Step-by-step explanation:

A current carrying coil produces magnetic field and a changing magnetic field induces emf. In a transformer, when current flows in the primary coil, the magnetic field in produced which induces emf in the near by secondary coil. This results in current to flow in the secondary coil. There are two types of transformers- step up transformer has higher number turns in secondary coil and thus it steps up amount of induced emf. In a step down transformer, the number of turns in the secondary coil is less. So the induced emf reduces.
