Answer:
a) 0.72 V
b) 19.2 mA
c) 2.304 Watts
Explanation:
A transformer is used to step-up or step-down voltage and current. It uses the principle of electromagnetic induction. When the primary coil is greater than the secondary coil, the it is a step-down transformer, and when the primary coil is less than the secondary coil, the it is a step-up transformer.
number of primary turns =
= 500 turns
input voltage =
= 120 V
number of secondary turns =
= 3 turns
output voltage =
= ?
using the equation for a transformer
substituting values, we have
b) by law of energy conservation,
where
substituting values, we have
120
= 3.2 x 0.72
120
= 2.304
= 19.2 mA
c) power input =
==> 0.0192 x 120 = 2.304 Watts
