Problem:

An ideal transformer with a 300 turn primary connected to a 240 V, 60 Hz supply line is to output 110 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:

V1V2=N1N2

Where V1=Voltage across primary, V2=Voltage across secondary, N1= Number of turns in primary, N2= Number of turns in secondary


240volts110volts=300N2

N2=300110240
