Try three Electromagnetism exam-style questions
1. A transformer has 100 primary and 500 secondary turns with 12 V in. Find output. (1 mark)
Show the mark scheme answer
60 V.
2. State Faraday's law. (1 mark)
Show the mark scheme answer
Induced emf equals rate of change of flux linkage.
3. Explain why transformers need ac. (1 mark)
Show the mark scheme answer
Only a changing flux induces an emf.
