EE109 AC Apparatus and Devices

Assignment 1 Answer Key

1. The core of a two-winding transformer is subjected to a magnetic flux variation

as indicated in figure. What is the induced emf in each winding?
(mWb)

t (ms)

2. A 500-turn coil is immersed in a 100-Hz flux with an effective value of 60

mWb. Obtain an expression for the instantaneous value of the induced emf. If a
voltmeter is connected between its two ends, what will be the reading on the
voltmeter?

3. The magnetic flux density in the core of a 10 kVA, 450/4500-V, 60 Hz

transformer is 1.2T (rms). If the induced emf per turn is 15V, determine (a) the
primary and secondary turns, (b) the cross-sectional area of the core, and (c) the
full-load current in each winding.
