Consider the circuit shown: V1 sine 60 Hz 120 Vrms 4:1 R1 100 Ω ш 1:2 Figure 2: Cascaded Transformers Circuit R2 100 Ω
Please answer all questions
1. Calculate the magnitude (in RMS) of the current through R1
2. Calculate the magnitude (in RMS) of the current through R2.
Simulation
1. Construct the circuit in Figure 2 in the Circuit JS simulator. Note that transformers in Circuit JS may be
unstable. It is suggested to draw them by clicking from the bottom left corner to the top right corner
and refresh your simulation before taking a measurement.
2. Perform a simulation, displaying the voltage across the voltage source, the current through R1, and
the current through R2 in a “stacked” scope. Display the RMS average for each trace. Include a
screenshot.
Analysis
1. Compare the simulation results for the currents through R1 and R2. What is the percentage difference
between the calculated and simulated value for each? Comment on why there may be a discrepancy.
