Question
Electricity is distributed from electrical substations to neighborhoods at 13000 V. This is a 60 Hz oscillating (AC) voltage. Neighborhood transformers, seen on utility poles, step this voltage down to the 120 V that is delivered to your house.
A. How many turns does the primary coil on the transformer have if the secondary coil has 120 turns?

Answer:
the number of turns in the primary coil is 13000
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
V₁ = 13000 V
V₂ = 120 V
N₁ = ?
N₂ = 120 turns
the relation between the voltages and the number of turns in the primary and secondary coils can be expressed as;
V₁/V₂ = N₁/N₂
V₁N₂ = V₂N₁
N₁ = V₁N₂ / V₂
so we substitute
N₁ = (13000 V × 120 turns) / 120 V
N₁ = 1560000 V-turns / 120 V
N₁ = 13000 turns
Therefore, the number of turns in the primary coil is 13000
