CONCEPT:

  • Transformer is used to convert low voltage (or high current) to high voltage (or low current) and high voltage to low voltage.

F1 J.K Madhu 23.06.20 D6

EXPLANATION:

  • Transformer is used to convert low voltage to high voltage and vice versa.
  • This is done by changing the number of turns in primary and secondary coils.

In a transformer, the voltage in the secondary coil (load coil) is calculated by:

\(\frac{N_{s}}{N_{p}}=\frac{V_{s}}{V_{p}}\)
Here,Np and Ns are the numbers of turns in the primary and the secondary coils respectively and Vp and Vs are the rms voltages across the primary and secondary respectively.

  • Transformers do not change AC current to DC current or vice versa.
  • So the correct answer is option 2.
