From time to time, transformers explode. If your neighborhood has ever lost power all at once, this is likely to be
one of the reasons. To illuminate why this happens, consider the transformer box in your neighborhood: It needs
to take the 7200 V from the power lines and transform it to 120 V, which you will use in your home.
(a) If the secondary coil has 40 turns, how many turns does the primary coil have?
(b) If the 7200 V coil and the 120 V coil are separated by a distance of 30 cm, calculate the electric field that
exists between them.
(c) How much energy is stored in this electric field, if the total volume enclosed between the transformer is 0.6
m³? Do you think this is enough to cause an explosion?
[If you're curious, the real reason is because they contain a mineral oil that is used for insulation. If there is a short
circuit, lightning strike, or if the temperature otherwise gets too high, the oil begins to vaporize, forming bubbles
of hydrogen and methane, which is highly…
The generator of a car idling at 1.582E+3 rpm produces 15.3 V. What will the output be at a rotation speed of 2.886E+3 rpm, assuming nothing else changes? Answer in units of V.
To ignite a mixture of gasoline and air inside an internal combustion engine--like in your
car--a spark is generated by a high voltage across the spark plug, usually in the 10's of
thousands of volts, but the battery is only 12 V. This massive increase in voltage is
achieved through a transformer called the 'ignition coil'. A typical ignition coil has a primary
with 300 turns wrapped around a radius of 2 cm over a linear distance of 15 cm. The
secondary has 60,000 turns of wire over the same cylinder. The spark is generated when
the current is suddenly shut off to the coil. Assuming that the magnetic field is uniform
inside the primary and secondary coils, and that all of the magnetic field lines that go
through the primary go through the secondary, what voltage is generated in the secondary
coil if the current in the primary coil drops from 10 A to 0 A at a steady rate over the
course of 50 mirco-seconds? Give your answer to 2 significant digits.
Hint: Remember the definition of flux…
