Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: Electrical, magnetically
Concept:

Transformers transfer energy between circuits without direct wiring between the primary and secondary sides.

Solution:

  • The primary and secondary coils are insulated from each other, meaning there is no electrical connection.


  • Energy is transferred via a shared magnetic core where changing flux links the two coils, meaning they are magnetically linked.


Why other options are incorrect:

Coils are strictly electrically isolated to prevent direct current flow. They are not optically linked (which would be an optoisolator, not a standard transformer).

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
