Transformer Basics
A transformer is an electrical device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction. It consists of two or more coils of wire called windings, which are electrically insulated from each other but magnetically linked. The primary winding is connected to the input voltage source, while the secondary winding is connected to the load.

Transformer Turns Ratio
The turns ratio of a transformer is the ratio of the number of turns in the primary winding to the number of turns in the secondary winding. It is represented by the symbol "N" and is calculated as:

N = (Number of turns in primary winding) / (Number of turns in secondary winding)

In this case, the transformer has 350 primary turns and 1050 secondary turns. Therefore, the turns ratio can be calculated as:

N = 350 / 1050
N = 1 / 3

Induced EMF in the Secondary Winding
The induced electromotive force (EMF) in the secondary winding of a transformer can be calculated using the turns ratio and the applied voltage in the primary winding. The induced EMF is given by the equation:

EMF_secondary = Turns ratio * EMF_primary

In this case, the applied voltage in the primary winding is 230 V. Using the turns ratio calculated earlier (N = 1/3), we can calculate the induced EMF in the secondary winding as:

EMF_secondary = (1/3) * 230 V
EMF_secondary = 76.67 V

However, it is important to note that the induced EMF in the secondary winding is not affected by the frequency of the input voltage. Therefore, the induced EMF in the secondary winding will be:

EMF_secondary = 76.67 V, 50 Hz

Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'A' - the induced EMF in the secondary winding will be 690 V, 50 Hz. This is calculated using the turns ratio and the applied voltage in the primary winding. The frequency of the input voltage does not affect the induced EMF in the secondary winding.

Identify the INCORRECT statement among the given options regarding mutual inductance.
  • a)
    Mutual inductance is a geometric quantity
  • b)
    It is independent of the current in the circuit
  • c)
    Counter wound coils help in increasing the mutual inductance
  • d)
    Transformers have a large mutual inductance
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Divya Nair answered
Explanation:

Mutual inductance is a geometric quantity:
Mutual inductance is a geometric quantity that describes the relationship between two coils of wire. It depends on the number of turns in each coil, the relative orientation of the coils, and the permeability of the medium between the coils.

It is independent of the current in the circuit:
Mutual inductance is not independent of the current in the circuit. It is directly proportional to the current flowing through one coil and the rate of change of current in the other coil. Therefore, mutual inductance is influenced by the current in the circuit.

Counter wound coils help in increasing the mutual inductance:
Counter wound coils are coils wound in opposite directions. When two coils are wound in this manner, the magnetic field produced by one coil adds to the magnetic field produced by the other coil, resulting in an increase in mutual inductance between the coils.

Transformers have a large mutual inductance:
Transformers are devices that utilize mutual inductance to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another. They consist of two or more coils of wire that are magnetically coupled, resulting in a large mutual inductance which enables efficient energy transfer between the coils.
Therefore, the incorrect statement among the given options is that mutual inductance is independent of the current in the circuit.

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Patel answered
Concept:
Self-Induction
  • Whenever the electric current passing through a coil changes, the magnetic flux linked with it will also change.
  • As a result of this, in accordance with Faraday’s laws of electromagnetic induction, an emf is induced in the coil which opposes the change that causes it.
  • This phenomenon is called ‘self-induction’ and the emf induced is called back emf, current so produced in the coil is called induced current.
  • Self-inductance of a solenoid is given by –

    Where μo = Absolute permeability, N = Number of turns, l = length of the solenoid, the resistance of the coil (R) = 4Ω, and A = Area of the solenoid.
  • Induced e.m.f can be given as
    Where ,
    VL = induced voltage in volts
    N = self-inductance of the coil
    dI/dt = rate of change of current in ampere/second
Calculation:
Given I1 = 4A, I2 = 2A, dt = 0.05 sec, VL = 8 volt
⇒ dI = I2 - I1 = (2 - 4) = -2A
From equation 1,

Hence, option 1 is correct.

    Nine times
  • b)
    Half times
  • c)
    Doubled
  • d)
    Unchanged
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Abhay Khanna answered
Explanation:
In order to understand why the self-inductance of a solenoid halves when its length is doubled without any change in the number of turns and the area of the coil, we need to consider the formula for the self-inductance of a solenoid.

The self-inductance of a solenoid is given by the formula:

L = (μ₀N²A)/l

Where:
L = self-inductance of the solenoid
μ₀ = permeability of free space (constant)
N = number of turns in the solenoid
A = area of the cross-section of the solenoid
l = length of the solenoid

Analysis:
When the length of the solenoid is doubled, the value of 'l' in the formula is doubled.

If we substitute the new values into the formula, we get:

L' = (μ₀N²A)/(2l)

Now, let's compare the new self-inductance (L') with the original self-inductance (L):

L' = (μ₀N²A)/(2l)

L = (μ₀N²A)/l

Comparison:
To compare L' and L, we can divide L' by L:

L'/L = [(μ₀N²A)/(2l)] / [(μ₀N²A)/l]

L'/L = l / (2l)

L'/L = 1/2

This shows that the new self-inductance (L') is half of the original self-inductance (L).

Conclusion:
Therefore, when the length of a solenoid is doubled without any change in the number of turns and the area of the coil, the self-inductance of the solenoid halves.

Whenever a conductor is placed in a varying magnetic field an EMF gets induced across the conductor (called induced emf), and if the conductor is a closed circuit then induced current flows through it.
A magnetic field can be varied by various methods:
  • By moving magnet
  • By moving the coil
  • By rotating the coil relative to a magnetic field
Faraday's second law of electromagnetic induction states that the magnitude of induced emf is equal to the rate of change of flux linkages with the coil.
According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the rate of change of flux linkages is equal to the induced emf:

Which quantity is solenoidal in the electromagnetic theory?
  • a)
    Electric field intensity
  • b)
    Electric flux density
  • c)
    Magnetic field intensity
  • d)
    Magnetic flux density
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Tarun Chawla answered
Answer: d
Explanation: The divergence of the magnetic flux density is zero. This is the Maxwell fourth equation. As the divergence is zero, the quantity will be solenoidal or divergent less.

In dielectric medium, the Maxwell second equation becomes
  • a)
    Curl(H) = Jd
  • b)
    Curl(H) = Jc
  • c)
    Curl(E) = Jd
  • d)
    Curl(E) = Jd
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Sakshi Roy answered
Answer: a
Explanation: In dielectric medium conductivity σ will be zero. So the current density has only the displacement current density. Thus the Maxwell equation will be Curl(H) = Jd.

Find the electric field applied on a system with electrons having a velocity 5m/s subjected to a magnetic flux of 3.6 units.
  • a)
    15
  • b)
    18
  • c)
    1.38
  • d)
    0.72
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Answer: b
Explanation: The electric field intensity is the product of the velocity and the magnetic flux density. Thus E = v x B, on substituting v = 5 and B = 3.6, we get E = 5 x 3.6 = 18 units.

    Concept:
    Mutual Inductance:

    When two coils are placed close to each other, a change in current in the first coil produces a change in magnetic flux, which cuts not only the coil itself but also the second coil as well. The change in the flux induces a voltage in the second coil, this voltage is called induced voltage and the two coils are said to have a mutual inductance.
    Consider a pair of coupled inductors with self-inductance L1 and L2, magnetically coupled through coupling coefficient k.

    Input and output voltage expressions are given as
    V1 = jωL1I1 + jωMI2   ...(1)
    V2 = jωL2I2 + jωMI1   ...(2)
    Where,
    ω = 2πf

    M = Mutual inductance
    L1 = Inductance of coil one
    L2 = Inductance of coil two
    Calculation:

    In the given circuit secondary is open-circuited, so I2 = 0 A
    Given secondary voltage V2 = 7.3 Vp-p
    The output voltage expression from equation(2) is given as
    V2 = jωMI1  ....(3)
    The given voltage across the 22 Ω resistor is 5 Vp-p
    So primary current is calculated as I1 = 5 / 22 Ap-p
    From equation(3)
    |V2| = 2π f M I1
    7.3 = 2 × π ×  100 × 103 × M × (5/22)
    M = 51.12 μH
