Question
The primary coil of a transformer has 60 turns whereas its secondary coil has 3000 turns.
If a current of 5A flows in the primary coil, how much current will flow in a load in the secondary coil? State the assumption you have made regarding the transformer, in this calculation.

Solution
Give that, IP = 5 A, IS = ?
`therefore "N"_"S"/"N"_"P" = "I"_"P"/"I"_"S"`
`=> 3000/60 = 5/"I"_"S"`
`"I"_"S" = 1/10`
`"I"_"S"` = 0.1 A

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.
