Answer:
a. 60 V b. 6 A c. 360 W
Explanation:
a. Voltage in secondary
For an ideal transformer,
N₁/N₂ = I₂/I₁ = V₁/V₂ where N₁ = turns in primary = 50 turns, N₂ = turns in secondary = 250 turns, V₁ = voltage in primary = 12 V, V₂ = voltage in secondary = ? V
N₁/N₂ = V₁/V₂
V₂ = V₁N₂/N₁ = 250 × 12/50 = 60 V
b. Since V₂ = I₂R,
I₂ = V₂/R R = 10 Ω
I₂ = 60 V/10 Ω
I₂ = 6 A
c. We first calculate the current in the primary from
N₁/N₂ = I₂/I₁ where I₁ = primary current
I₁ = N₂I₂/N₁ = 250 × 6 A/50 = 30 A
The power supplied to the primary is thus
P = I₁V₁ = 30 A × 12 V = 360 W
