Ans.32 - (I) AC Generator (5 Marks)
It is a device used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy

Principle: It is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When a closed coil is rotated
rapidly in a strong magnetic field, the magnetic flux linked with the coil changes continuously.
Hence an emf is induced in the coil and a current flows in it. In fact, the mechanical energy
expended in rotating the coil appears as electrical energy in the coil.
1M
Construction: Main Parts 1M
1. Armature: It is a rectangular coil ABCD having a large number of turns of insulated copper wire
wound on a soft-iron core. The use of soft-iron core increases the magnetic flux linked with the
armature.

2. Field Magnet: It a strong electromagnet having concave pole pieces N and S. The armature is
rotated between these pole pieces about an axis perpendicular to the magnetic field.

3. Slip Rings: The leads from the armature coil ABCD are connected to two copper rings R1 and R2
called the ‘slip rings’. These rings are concentric with the axis of the armature coil and rotate with it.

4. Brushes:These are two carbon pieces B1 and B2 called brushes which remain stationary pressing
against the slip rings R1 and R2 respectively. The brushes are connected to an external circuit.

Working Theory : When the coil ABCD is rotated inside the field, an emf is induced between its two
ends. Let the plane of the coil be at right angles to the magnetic field at t = 0 and angular speed of
the rotation of the coil be ω. Then at time t, θ = ωt. The magnetic flux linked with the coil at time t is
ϕ = n BA cosωt
−d  −d
Induced emf e = =  nBA cos t 
dt dt
⇒e = n BA ω sinωt
e = e0sinωt Where e0 = nBAω is the peak value of emf.

In an ac generator the source of electrical energy is the mechanical energy.

(II)
(a)TRANSFORMER

Use: It is a device which converts low ac voltage at high current into high ac voltage at low current
and vice – versa.

Principle: It consists of two coils P and S wound on a closed soft iron core. The coil which is fed
from the ac supply is called primary coil (P) and the other connected to the load is called secondary
coil (S). The core of the transformer is made of soft -iron toreduce hysteresis loss and is laminated
to reduce eddy current losses.1M

Working: When an alternating emf ep is impressed on the primary winding it sends an ac current
through it which sets up an alternating magnetic flux in the core. This induces an alternating emf es
in the secondary. If NP and Ns are the number of turns in primary and secondary coil, their linkages
with the flux are

In a step-down transformer Ns< Np, es<ep but is>ip
At the generating station a step-up transformer is used for stepping up the voltage and at the
various receiving substations a step-down transformer is used

0.5M
(b) The two sources of energy losses are eddy current losses and flux leakage losses. 1M
(c)There is no violation of the principle of the conservation of energy in a stepup transformer. When
output voltage increases the output current decreases automatically keeping the power the
same.1M

𝑢𝑒 𝑣𝑒 𝑓𝑒 −25 6.25 5

𝑢𝑒 =-5cm 0.5M
Therefore the image formed by the objective is formed at a distance of 10 cm towards the eyepiece.
Hence for the objective,𝑣0 =+10 cm,𝑓0=2cm, 𝑣0 =?
1 1 1 1 1
= - = - 0.5M
𝑢0 𝑣0 𝑓0 10 2

𝑢0 =-2.5cm 0.5M
𝑣0 𝐷 10 25
Therefore the magnifying power M= (1+ )= (1+ )=20 0.5M
|𝑢0 | 𝑓𝑒 2.5 6.25

(b) When the final image is formed at infinity the object for the eyepiece must lie at its principal
focus.Thereforethe distance of the image formed by the objective from its optical center,
𝑣0 =15-6.25=8.75cm 0.5M

𝑣0 𝐷 8.75 25
M= . = × =13.5 1M
