Question
The primary of a transformer when connected to a $$dc$$ battery of $$10$$ volt draws a current of $$1\,mA.$$ The number of turns of the primary and secondary windings are $$50$$ and $$100$$ respectively. The voltage in the secondary and the current drawn by the circuit in the secondary are respectively
A.
$$20\,V$$ and $$0.5\,mA$$
B.
$$20\,V$$ and $$2.0\,mA$$
C.
$$10\,V$$ and $$0.5\,mA$$
D.
Zero and therefore no current
Answer :
Zero and therefore no current
Solution :
A transformer is essentially an $$AC$$ device. $$DC$$ source so no mutual induction between coils
$$ \Rightarrow {E_2} = 0\,\,{\text{and}}\,\,{I_2} = 0$$
