Question 8

A transformer has 300 turns on its primary coil and 9000 turns on its secondary coil. Connected in this way, for what purpose could this transformer be used?

A

to convert the 4000 V4000\text{ V}4000 V a.c. output of a generator to 120 000 V120\,000\text{ V}120000 V for long-distance power transmission

B

to convert the 120 000 V120\,000\text{ V}120000 V d.c. supply from a power line to 4000 V4000\text{ V}4000 V for local transmission

C

to use a 240 V240\text{ V}240 V a.c. mains supply to operate an 8 V8\text{ V}8 V motor

D

to use an 8 V8\text{ V}8 V d.c. supply to operate a 240 V240\text{ V}240 V lamp
