Qn 15.Copper wires of the same length and thickness are connected to points A and B in all the three circuits. In-circuit (a) copper wire is not coiled. In circuits (b) and (c), the copper wire is coiled. Observe the circuits and answer the following questions.
- When circuit (a) is switched on, what do you observe?
- When circuit (b) is switched on, what change do you observe in the intensity of light? Justify your answer.
- When circuit (c) is switched on, what change do you observe in the intensity of light? Justify your answer.
- Answer)
a) Bulb glows brightly
b) Bulb glows with the same brightness. The resistance of the conductor does not change As DC passes through the conductor, no back emf is produced and self induction does not take place.
c) The intensity of light decreases.
As AC passes through the solenoid, a back emf is produced in the same solenoid due to a change in the magnetic flux. ie self induction takes place and effective emf reduces.

Qn 16.The current in the secondary coil of a transformer is 1A and that in the primary is 0.5 A.
- What type of transformer is this?
- If 200 V is available in the secondary coil of this transformer, what is the voltage in the primary?
- Explain the working principle of a transformer.
- Answer)
a) Step Down Transformer
b) Vp x Ip = Vs x Is
c) Consider two coils of wire kept side by side. When the strength or direction of the current in one coil chances, the magnetic flux around it changes. As a result , an emf is induced in the secondary coil. This phenomenon is the mutual induction.

Qn 18.Thick insulated copper wires are used in the primary coil of a step-up transformer and in the secondary of a step-down transformer. What is the necessity of this?
- Answer)
In a transformer, the power in the primary coil and that in the secondary coil will be equal. So current will be high in the primary coil of step up transformer and in the secondary coil of step down transformer. Thick wires are used here to avoid burning of coil.

Qn 20.What is the role of earthing wire in a household circuit?
- Answer)
The function of earth line is to provide safety while handling devices like electric motor, mixie, electric iron etc. Due to insulation failure or some other reasons, there is a chance of presence of current in the metallic body of this devices. If the device is connected with three pin plug, current flows the earth. Earth wire is made thicker an it has low resistance. As current passes through a path of low resistance, current increases and this lead to breaking of fuse wire or functioning of MCB. even though earth wire is there in the circuit three pin plug must be used for ensuring this safety.

Qn 21.Why do we say that metallic devices should be earthed?
- Answer)
Electric shock is likely to happen while handling electric appliances with metallic body. In such devices, the metallic part should be earthed. Thus we can avoid dangers. Devices like motor etc are earthed directly.

Why do some mobile phones use three-pin plugs?
- Answer)
In three pin plug of mobile, plastic pin is fixed in the place of earth pin. As the part of safety measures the phase nuetral holes in the sockets may be closed with caps. Only after earth pin enters the other two sockets will be opened. interesting two pin plug in such socket may be difficult . Three pin plug is used in mobile charger for solving this problem.
