Which quantity is increased in step down transformer?

Correct answer: A. Current

  • A. Current
  • B. Power
  • C. Voltage
  • D. Frequency

Explanation

A step-down transformer, the current is increased on the secondary side compared to the primary side. This is because of the conservation of power; when voltage decreases (step down), current increases to maintain the same power (P = VI). So, this option is correct.

About Electromagnetism

Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
