MDCAT Physics MCQ #890

  1. Question 1

    Q1. A transformer uses electromagnetic induction to increase the voltage of an alternating current. How does the secondary voltage compare to the primary voltage?

    • A) Less than the primary voltage
    • B) Equal to the primary voltage
    • C) Greater than the primary voltage
    • D) Dependent on the load resistance

    Answer: Greater than the primary voltage

    Explanation: A transformer increases the voltage of the alternating current using electromagnetic induction, making the secondary voltage greater than the primary voltage.
