Question

A transformer has a primary coil with 375 turns of wire and a secondary coil with 1,875 turns. An AC voltage source connected across the primary coil has a voltage given by the function Δv = (130 V)sin(ωt). What rms voltage (in V) is measured across the secondary coil?

Answer 1

Answer:

The rms voltage (in V) measured across the secondary coil is 459.62 V

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns in the primary coil, Np = 375 turns

number of turns in the secondary coil, Ns = 1875 turns

peak voltage across the primary coil, Ep = 130 V

peak voltage across the secondary coil, Es = ?

$\frac{N_P}{N_s} = \frac{E_p}{E_s} \\\\E_s = \frac{N_sE_p}{N_p} \\\\E_s = \frac{1875*130}{375} \\\\E_s = 650 \ V$

The rms voltage (in V) measured across the secondary coil is calculated as;

$V_{rms} = \frac{V_0}{\sqrt{2} } = \frac{E_s}{\sqrt{2} } \\\\V_{rms} = \frac{650}{\sqrt{2} } = 459.62 \ V$

Therefore, the rms voltage (in V) measured across the secondary coil is 459.62 V
