An ideal transformer has 100 turns in the primary and 250 turns in the secondary. The peak value of the AC is 28 V. The rms secondary voltage is nearest to ______
Assertion: A transfonner cannot work on D.C. supply.
Reason: D.C. changes neither in magnitude nor in direction.
A transformer is essentially an a.c. device. It cannot work on d.c. It changes alternating voltages or currents. It does not affect the frequency of a.c. It is based on the phenomenon of mutual induction. A transformer essentially consists of two coils of insulated copper wire having different numbers of turns and wound on the same soft iron core.
The number of turns in the primary and secondary coils of an ideal transformer is 2000 and 50 respectively. The primary coil is connected to a main supply of 120 V and secondary coil is connected to a bulb of resistance 0.6 Ω.
The value of current in the bulb is ______.
In an ideal transformer, the turns ratio is \[\frac {N_p}{N_s}\] = \[\frac {1}{2}\]. The ratio Vs : Vp is equal to (the symbols carry their usual meaning) ______.
