Multiple ChoiceAn outlet in North America outputs electricity at 120 V, but a typical laptop needs to operate at around 20 V. In order to do so, a transformer is placed in a laptop's power supply. If the coil in the circuit connected to the laptop has 20 turns, how many turns must the coil in the circuit with the outlet have?490views14rank2comments
Multiple ChoiceA transformer has 200 turns in the primary and 25 turns in the secondary. If the primary is hooked up to a 120V household outlet, what is the potential across the secondary coil?383views
Textbook QuestionThe primary windings of a transformer which has an 85% efficiency are connected to 110-V ac. The secondary windings are connected across a 2.4-Ω, 75-W lightbulb. (a) Calculate the current through the primary windings of the transformer. (b) Calculate the ratio of the number of primary windings of the transformer to the number of secondary windings of the transformer.111views
