The primary coil of a transformed has 800 urns and the secondary coil has 8 turns. It is connected to a 220 V a.c. supply. What will be the output voltage?
In an ideal transformer, an output of 66 kV is required when an input voltage of 220 V is available. If the primary has 300 turns, how many turns should the secondary have?
The primary of a transformer has 40 turns and works on 100 V and 100 W. Find a number of turns in the secondary to step up the voltage to 400 V. Also calculate the current in the secondary and primary.
A step-up transformer has 300 turns of primary winding and 450 turns of secondary winding. A primary is connected to 150 V and the current flowing through it is 9A. The current and voltage in the secondary are
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.
