The primary coil of a transformer is coupled to DC power supply (a battery) that provides an electromotive force of 9V. The primary coil has 10 turns while the secondary coil has 100 turns. Determine the potential difference across the secondary coil. Provide your answer in Volts.
An American traveler in New Zealand carries a transformer to convert New Zealand's standard 230 V to 115 V so
that she can use some small appliances on her trip.
a) What is the ratio of turns in the primary and secondary coils of her transformer?
b) What is the ratio of input to output current?
A step-down transformer (turns ratio =1:8) is used with an electric train to reduce the voltage from the wall receptacle to a value needed to operate the train. When the train is running, the current in the secondary coil is 1.6 A. What is the current in the primary coil?
