What is a transformer?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The definition of transformer.
Explanation of Solution
The transformer is a magnetically operated electrical machine which changes the values of current, voltage or impedance without a change in the frequency of the supply. It works on the principle of magnetic induction. The transformer consists of two windings, first one is primary and second one is secondary winding. The primary winding carries the input supply and secondary winding carries the output supply.
The load is connected to secondary winding of the transformer. The change in input voltage or current depends on the number of turns in the primary winding and number of turns of wire in the secondary winding. If a transformer raises the value of the input current or voltage, then it is called a step up transformer and if it decreases the input voltage or current then the transformer is called a step down transformer. The input supply of transformer is always an AC supply.

Question 1.
A tube rotates in the horizontal xy plane with a constant angular velocity w about the z-axis. A
particle of mass m is released from a radial distance R when the tube is in the position shown.
This problem is based on problem 3.2 in the text.

a) Draw a free body diagram of the particle if the tube is frictionless.
b) Draw a free body diagram of the particle if the coefficient of friction between the sides of the
tube and the particle is μs = flk = fl.
c) For the case where the tube is frictionless, what is the radial speed at which the particle
leaves the tube?
d) For the case where there is friction, derive a differential equation that would allow you to
solve for the radius of the particle as a function of time. I'm only looking for the differential
equation. DO NOT solve it.
e) If there is no friction, what is the angle of the tube when the particle exits?
• Hint: You may need to solve a differential equation for the last part. The "potentially…
