PHY 102 Last Minute Prep Objective Question

Question

It is important to boost generated current before transmission. The transformer for this has N primary turns and n secondary turns. For this action:
Options
A N > n, to ensure current interaction and wires are uncoated
B N < n, to ensure field interaction and wires are coated
Correct Answer
C N > n, to ensure field and current interaction and wires are coated
D N < n, to ensure field and current interaction and wires are uncoated
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

A step-up transformer has more turns in the secondary coil (N < n). This increases voltage for transmission. The wires are coated (insulated) for safety.

Hint

What type of transformer is used to boost voltage?
