Textbook Question
Chapter 26, Problem 55GP
Electric outlets in England are 230 V. Alice brings her electric kettle from England, where it draws 13 A, and wants to use it in the United States. She uses a step-up transformer to increase the 120 V outlet voltage to 230 V, then plugs her kettle into the secondary. What is the current in the primary in the few seconds before the 15 A circuit breaker trips?
