  1. Question 1

    Q1. A student uses a transformer to increase the voltage of a low-voltage electrical current. Which part of the transformer uses electromagnetic induction?

    • A) Primary coil to increase voltage
    • B) Secondary coil to increase voltage
    • C) Core to increase current
    • D) Winding to decrease resistance

    Answer: Primary coil to increase voltage

    Explanation: The primary coil uses electromagnetic induction to increase the voltage, as it induces a higher voltage in the secondary coil, whereas the other options describe different components or functions in a transformer.
