Textbook Question
Chapter 28, Problem 36E
You’re planning a semester in China, so you want to purchase a transformer to step the 220-V Chinese power down to 120 V to power your stereo. (a) If the transformer’s primary has 660 turns, how many should the secondary have? (b) You can save money with a transformer whose maximum primary current is 1.4 A. If your stereo draws 2.9 A, will this transformer work?
