Hello Gary My Man!

Well, as you can clearly see 

<span>The atomic number of an element is basically the number of protons it has. So yes, for every element this is different. Now, the mass number of an element as known, is the number of protons+the number of neutrons.  So theoretically as we can see, this number should be a whole number, but since there are different isotopes (atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons) of each element, most periodic tables take account of that, so they often include decimals as seen. 

So in Short, ALL</span> the atoms of a particular element have the SAME EXACT atomic number<span> (</span>number<span> of protons of course). The </span>atoms of different elements have very different numbers of protons. And of course, the MASS number of an atom is the TOTAL number as known, of protons and of course, the neutrons it contains in it.

I Hope my answer has come to your Help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead! :)

A transformer has 90 turns in the primary coil and 9 turns in the secondary coil If the output voltage is 6 V, what is the input
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

60 V

Explanation:

From;

Vs/Vp = Ns/Np

Where;

Vs = voltage in the secondary coil = 6V

Vp = voltage in the primary coil= ??

Ns = number of turns in the secondary coil = 9

Np= number of turns in the primary coil = 90

6/Vp = 9/90

Vp= 90 * 6/9

Vp=  60 V
