Diagram 10.4 Using the knowledge of a transformer, describe how to build the transformer to run the 12 V d.c motor. Your explanation should include the following aspects : (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) type of transformer used type of core used the ratio of number of turns in primary coil to the number of turns in secondary coil the electronic component that should be connected to the output of the secondary coil the method of increasing the efficiency of the transformer [10 marks]

A student used the apparatus shown in figure below to investigate electromagnetic induction. The magnet will be drop inside the coil. He observed that the angle that the pointer of the galvanometer deflects become increase when he increase the number of turns on the solenoid.

a) From the above observation, make a suitable inference b) State one appropriate hypothesis that could be investigated c) Design an experiment to investigate the hypothesis that you stated in (b). In your description, state clearly the following: i. Aim of experiment vi. Tabulation of the result ii. Variables in the experiment vii. Analysis of the result iii. List of the apparatus viii. State one precaution in the experiment iv. Arrangement of the apparatus v. Procedures of the experiment on controlling the manipulated and responding variables
