The spool is a transformer. It consists of two windings of copper wire, "the primary coil 1, the secondary coil 2." The primary coil is composed of 220 turns of wire. The secondary coil is composed of 120 turns of wire.
(1) The secondary coil terminals are connected to a light bulb. Nothing happens. The primary coil is connected to a AC power supply. What do you observe about the light bulb
(2) a) Explain why a changing voltage (across the primary coil) creates a changing magnetic field around the transformer.
b) Explain why the changing magnetic field around the transformer, induces a changing voltage in the secondary coil.
(3) The experimenter brings a heavy cast iron bolt towards the transformer. Why does the heavy iron bolt appear to get “sucked in” to the central hole in the transformer? b) What do you observe about the light bulb? c) How can you explain this?

- Which of the following statements are true? Choose all that apply. A changing magnetic field will always induce a voltage. As current through an inductor decreases, the inductance remains constant. For an LR circuit, as R increases, & decreases. Transformers can simultaneously decrease voltage & decrease current. Generators transform electrical energy (electricity) into kinetic energy. The mks units for inductance are Wb.arrow_forward6. The graph to the right plots the current through a resistor as a function of time given that the resistor is connected to an inductor, and the combination is suddenly disconnected from a battery. What would change if the inductor is exchanged for one with a larger inductance and the process is repeated? a) Shorter decay time b) Longer decay time c) Higher initial current d) Lower initial current none of the above Plot of current in resistor vs time for a resistor which is disconnected from a battery at time 0 0.8 0.4 0.2 0 0.5 Time (microseconds) 1.5arrow_forwardYou have an AC voltage supply (rms voltage 240 v, frequency f = 50 Hz).
