Answer 19

Vp / Vs = Np / Ns

Vp = voltage across primary, Vs = voltage across secondary, Np = number of turns in primary, Ns = number of turns in secondary.

Question 20

What is the relationship between power in primary and secondary circuits?

Answer 20

Power of primary = Power of secondary = Vp X Ip = Vs X Is

Ip = current in primary, Is = current in secondary.

Question 21

Answer 21

Change in energy = mass X specific heat capacity * temp change

This can also be expressed as 4Q = mc0.

Question 22

How is energy related to mass and latent heat?

Answer 22

Energy = mass X specific latent heat = Q = ml

Q represents the energy transferred during a phase change.

Question 23

What is the equation for pressure and volume change?

Answer 23

P1V1 = P2V2

This equation is derived from the ideal gas law.

Question 24

What is the expression for energy transferred in relation to k and x?

Answer 24

Energy transferred = k(4x)²

Here, k is a constant and x represents a variable related to the system.

Question 25

What is the equation of motion relating initial and final velocities?

Answer 25

v² - u² = 2as

v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.

Question 26

What is the formula for force on a conductor in a magnetic field?

Answer 26

Force = magnetic flux density x current x length = F = BIl

B = magnetic flux density, I = current, l = length of conductor.

Question 27

How is pressure from a liquid calculated?

Answer 27

Pressure = height of column x density of liquid x gravity = P = hpg

h = height, p = density, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Question 28

What is the formula for momentum?

Answer 28

Momentum = p = mv

p = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity.

Question 29

What does F = (mv - mu) / t represent?

Answer 29

It represents the average force exerted during a change in momentum over time.

F = force, m = mass, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.
