Question

An ideal step-down transformer has a primary coil of 380 turns and a secondary coil of 17 turns. Its primary coil is plugged into an outlet with 120 V(AC), from which it draws an rms current of 0.19 A. (a) What is the voltage in the secondary coil? (b) Calculate the rms current in the secondary coil. (c) Assuming that the transformer secondary is driving a resistive load, calculate the average power dissipated in the resistor.

Step 1

Given: Primary turns, Np = 380 Secondary turns, Ns = 17 Primary voltage, Vp = 120 V Using the formula Vs = Vp * (Ns/Np), we can calculate the voltage in the secondary coil: Vs = 120 * (17/380) Vs = 5.37 V Show more…
