Suppose you have a motor with a power factor significantly less than 1. Explain why it would be better to improve the power factor as a method of improving the motor’s output, rather than to increase the voltage input.
A hand-cranked generator can be connected to a number of light bulbs via a switch.
Is it easier to turn the handle of the generator when the switch is open (i.e. no light
bulbs illuminated) or closed, or does it not make any difference? Explain your answer.
Are you convinced that motors and generators are really the same?
Explain how they are the same yet operate differently.

If your neighborhood has ever lost power all at once, this is likely to be one of the reasons. To illuminate why this happens, consider the transformer box in your neighborhood: It needs to take the 7200 V from the power lines and transform it to 120 V, which you will use in your home. (a) If the secondary coil has 40 turns, how many turns does the primary coil have?

A typical ignition coil has a primary with 300 turns wrapped around a radius of 2 cm over a linear distance of 15 cm. The secondary has 60,000 turns of wire over the same cylinder. The spark is generated when the current is suddenly shut off to the coil.
