The 250 - turn primary coil of a step‑down transformer is connected to an AC line that is 120.0 V (rms). The secondary coil is to supply 12.0 A (rms) at 9.60 V (rms). Assuming no power loss in the transformer, what is the number of turns N s in the secondary coil? N s = turns What is the rms current i p,rms in the primary coil?

Answer:

Number of turns in secondary is 20

Current in primary is 0.96 A  

Explanation:

We have given number of turns in primary [tex]N_p=250[/tex]

Voltage across primary of transformer [tex]V_p=120volt[/tex]

Current in secondary coil [tex]i_s=12A[/tex]

Voltage across secondary [tex]V_s=9.6volt[/tex]

For transformer we know that [tex]\frac{N_p}{N_s}=\frac{V_p}{V_s}[/tex]

So [tex]\frac{250}{N_s}=\frac{120}{9.6}[/tex]

[tex]N_p=20[/tex]

So number of turns in primary is 20

Now [tex]\frac{N_p}{N_s}=\frac{i_s}{i_p}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{250}{20}=\frac{12}{i_p}[/tex]

[tex]i_p=0.96A[/tex]

Current in primary of transformer is 0.96 A

The current in the primary coil is 0.96A, and the number of turns in the secondary coil is 20.

Transformer:

Given that the number of turns in the primary coil is, N = 250

Let the number of turns in the secondary coil be N'.

Also, the voltage of the primary is, V = 120V

whereas the voltage of the secondary is, V' = 9.6V

From the transformer equation we can write :

[tex]\frac{N}{N'} =\frac{V}{V'} \\\\N' =\frac{V'}{V}\times N \\\\N'=\frac{9.6}{120}\times250[/tex]

N' = 20 turns

Now, the current in the secondary coil is given to be, I' = 12A

Let the current in the primary coil be, I

the number of turns and the current are inversely proportional in the case of the transformer:

[tex]\frac{N}{N'} =\frac{I'}{I} \\\\I =\frac{N'}{N}\times I' \\\\I=\frac{20}{250}\times12[/tex]

I = 0.96 A
