EASY
This power plant uses heat energy to generate electricity.
EASY
In an experiment, a student wants to use a transformer to convert a primary voltage of 3 V a .c. to a secondary voltage of 10 V a.c. They have coils with  100, 150, 200, 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000  turns available to make into the transformer. Which coils should they use?
MEDIUM
Why a step-up type of transformer is used in power stations?
EASY
In an experiment, a student wants to use a transformer to convert a primary voltage of 3 V a .c. to a secondary voltage of 10 V a.c. They have coils with  100, 150, 200, 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000  turns available to make into the transformer. Why would this not work with a d.c voltage? 
EASY

Inverters and generators are _____ giving devices.

(Choose from the following: electricity/ magnetic energy)

MEDIUM
Electrical power is often transmitted over long distances in high-voltage power lines (cables). Transformers are used to increase the voltage provided by the power station and to reduce the voltage for the final user. A transformer has 10 turns of wire on its primary coil and 200 turns on its secondary coil. If the p.d. across the primary coil is 3.0 V a.c., what will the e.m.f. across the secondary be?
HARD
Explain the construction of a voltage transformer.
