A transformer consists of 290 primary windings and 824 secondary windings. Part A: If the potential difference across the primary coil is 21.5 V , what is the voltage across the secondary coil?
Part B: If the potential difference across the primary coil is 21.5 V , what is the current in the secondary coil if it is connected across a 115 Ω resistor?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Part 1) Voltage in secondary windings is 61.08 Volts

Part 2) Current in secondary windings is 0.53 Amperes

Explanation:

The potential developed in the primary and secondary winding of a transformer are related as

[tex]\frac{N_{p}}{N_{s}}=\frac{V_{p}}{V_{s}}[/tex]

where

Np no of turns in primary coil

Ns no of turns in secondary coil

Vp Voltage of turns in primary coil

Vs Voltage of turns in secondary coil

Applying values in the formula we get

[tex]\frac{290}{824}=\frac{21.5}{V_{s}}\\\\\therefore V_{s}=21.5\times \frac{824}{290}=61.08V[/tex]

Part 2)

Using Ohm's law the current is given by

[tex]I=\frac{V_{s}}{R}\\\\I=\frac{61.089}{115}=0.53A[/tex]
