She suggests that he modify an old transformer that they don't need anymore to do the job. The old
transformer has a primary coil of 319 turns. It will need to be connected to mains voltage (240 V) and
put out a voltage of 12 V to charge the car battery.
How many turns should Spike wind to make the secondary coil? (No units)
A model electric train requires 6 V to operate. When it is connected to a 120-V household circuit, a transformer is needed. If the primary coil of the transformer has 360 turns, show that the secondary coil should have 18 turns.
