Question
The primary coil of an ideal step-up transformer has 100 turns and the transformation ratio is also 100. The input voltage and power are 220 V and 1100 W, respectively. Calculate the
(a) number of turns in secondary
(b) current in the primary
(c) a voltage across secondary
(d) current in secondary
(e) power in secondary

Solution
(a) Number of turns in secondary coil is given by
`N_S/N_P=n`
`=>N_S/100=100`
⇒NS=10,000
(b) Current in primary is given by
IPVP=P
`=>I_P=1100/220=5A`
(c) Voltage across secondary is given by
`V_S/V_P=N_S/N_P=n`
⇒VS=100×220=22,000 V
(d) Current in secondary is given by
VSIS=P
`=>I_S=P/V_S=1100/22000=0.05A`
(e) Power in secondary is power in primary in an ideal transformer.
= 1,100 W

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.
