Physics 1320 Chap 25 (Exam 1)

When voltage is stepped up in a transformer, current is stepped down. But Ohm's law tells us that greater voltage means greater current, not less current. How then can current be lower when voltage is increased?

Current in the secondary is lower when compared to the greater current drawn by the primary AND Ohm's law applies to the circuit connected to the secondary, not to the transformer.

The primary coil of a transformer has five times as many turns as the secondary coil. The output current for the transformer is 1.7 A . Select the correct equations that show that the input current is 0.34 A .

Iinput=Ioutput⋅Nsecondary/Nprimary=1.7A⋅15=0.34A

A transformer for a laptop computer converts a 220-V input to a 10-V output. Select the correct equations that show that the primary coil has twenty two times as many turns as the secondary coil.

Nprimary/Nsecondary=Vinput/Voutput=220V/10V=22

If you drop a bar magnet in a vertical copper pipe it will fall slowly because

it induces a magnetic field in the pipe that resists motion of the magnet.

High-voltage wires in power lines are not high-current wires because the current in them is

not the same as the current that powers the distant load AND proportional to the voltage drop from beginning to end of each line, rather low.

If the primary of a transformer is connected to a dc power source, the transformer would have a voltage output

only while being connected or disconnected.
