Problem:
An ideal transformer with a 300 turn primary connected to a 480 V, 60 Hz supply line is to output 120 V from the secondary. If a 100 Ω resistor is connected across the secondary, determine: A) How many turns the secondary must have. B) The current through the resistor, C)The current drawn through the primary.
Solution:
Part A:
Where Voltage across primary,
Voltage across secondary,
Number of turns in primary,
Number of turns in secondary
Part B:
The voltage across the secondary is given in the problem statement as 120 volts. Using ohms law, , we can solve for the current.
