2-Step Sub-90 Shortcut Formula

How to eliminate intermediate algebra and solve under 45 seconds.

Launch Interactive Lesson
STEP 1 • SETUP INVARIANT (LINE 1)10–15s
Line 1 (Step-Up Steps Down Current): Is=Ip(NpNs)=4×120=0.2 AI_s = I_p \left(\frac{N_p}{N_s}\right) = 4 \times \frac{1}{20} = 0.2\text{ A}.

Establish the structural invariant and eliminate impossible options immediately.

STEP 2 • FAST SOLVE (LINE 2)15–25s
Line 2 (Cable Heating Is2RcI_s^2 R_c): P=(0.2)2×1500=60 WP = (0.2)^2 \times 1500 = 60\text{ W} (25s).

Evaluate the simplified expression using integer factoring or unit elimination.

Distractor Trap Forensics

The predictable cognitive traps engineered by examiners into the wrong options.

TRAP #1multi_statement_linchpin_foil

Statement claiming a step-up transformer increases both voltage and current (violating Iₚ*Vₚ = Iₛ*Vₛ)

Stepping up voltage by Nₛ/Nₚ steps down ideal secondary current by Nₚ/Nₛ.

Sub-90 Fix: Test invariants before expanding equations.
TRAP #2sign_or_direction_flip

Failing to reverse the polarity of the induced EMF when the bar magnet reverses direction of motion (Lenz's Law)

Induced EMF E = -dΦ/dt reverses sign whenever velocity v changes sign, and has larger peak amplitude when return speed is faster.

Sub-90 Fix: Test invariants before expanding equations.
TRAP #3fence_post_or_domain_trap

Assuming induced EMF is maximum when coil plane is perpendicular to magnetic field lines

Maximum flux linkage gives zero rate of change (E = 0); maximum induced EMF occurs when the coil is parallel to B-field lines.

Sub-90 Fix: Test invariants before expanding equations.
