A transformer has 300 turns of wire in the primary coil and 30 turns in the secondary coil. If the input voltage is 100 volts, the output voltage is

A.

5 volts

B.

10 volts

C.

15 volts

D.

20 volts

Correct answer is B

For transformation, Es = e.m.f. of secondary coil 

Ep = Np 

Np = e.m.f. of secondary coil 

Ns = number of turns in secondary coil 

Ns = number of turns in primary coil 

\(\frac{30}{300}\) = \(\frac{x}{100}\) = 300 

X = 3000 

X = 10 volts

If a source of solid is moving, a stationary listener will hear a sound of different frequency. This is called?

A.

doppler effect

B.

resonance

C.

ultra sound

D.

rarefaction

Correct answer is A

The Doppler effect or Doppler shift is the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source.

The drop in pitch of ambulance sirens as they pass by and the shift in red light are common examples of the Doppler Effect.
