A transformer has 1000 turns in the primary coil and 100 turns in the secondary coil. If the primary coil is connected to a 120

V outlet and draws 0.050 A, what are the voltage and current of the secondary coil

Answer:

The voltage on the secondary is 12 V while the current is 0.5 A.

Explanation:

A transformer works by changing the level of the voltage and current on a circuit using a magnetic field and two coils. The ratio by wich they are changed is dependant on the ratio of turns between the primary and secondary of the transformer. In this case we have a ratio for the voltage of:

ratio = (turns on the secondary)/(turns on the primary)

ratio = 100/1000 = 0.1

So in this case the voltage delivered to the primary will be multiplied by 0.1. We can now calculate the voltage on the secondary:

Voltage secondary = Voltage primary* ratio = 120*0.1 = 12 V

The transformer maintains roughly the same power output on both sides, since the power output on a electric circuit is given by the product of the voltage by the current on that circuit, to maintain the same power when the voltage has been droped the current must be raised by the same ratio. So we have:

Current secondary = Current primary*(1/ratio) =0.05*(1/0.1) = 0.5 A

A metal wire is in thermal contact with two heat reservoirs at both of its ends. Reservoir 1 is at a temperature of 686 K, and r
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

ΔS = 3.09 J/K

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the magnitude of disorder in a system. Mathematically, entropy change is given as, the heat absorbed or released by a system divided by the change in absolute temperature. So, the formula for entropy change is as follows:

ΔS = ΔQ/ΔT

where,

ΔS = Change in Entropy of Metal Wire = ?

ΔQ = Heat Conducted through Wire = 1216 J

ΔT = Difference in Temperature = 686 K - 292 K = 394 K

Therefore,

ΔS = 1216 J/394 K

<u>ΔS = 3.09 J/K</u>

The surface of an insulating sphere (A) is charged up uniformly with positive charge, and brought very close to an identical–siz
Ilya [14]

Answer:

A) A negative charge of value Q is induced on sphere B

B) there is an attraction between sphere

C) The charge of sphere A is distributed between the two spheres,

Explanation:

This is an electrostatic problem, in general charges of the same sign attract and repel each other.

with this principle let's analyze the different situations

A) The sphere A that is insulating has a charge on its surface and zero charge is its interior

   The conducting sphere B has zero charge, but the sphere A creates an attraction in the electrons, therefore a negative charge of the same value as the charge of the sphere A is induced in the part closest and in the part farther away than one that a positive charge.

A negative charge of value Q is induced on sphere B

B) In this case there is an attraction between sphere A with positive charge and sphere B with negative induced charge

C) When the two spheres come into contact, the charge of sphere A is distributed between the two spheres, therefore each one has a positive charge of value half of the initial charge, as now we have net positive charges in the two spheres charges of the same sign repel each other so the spheres separate

Amy walks 32 m right and then 12 m left. She turns and walks another 28 m right and then turns and walks 7 m left. What is Amy's
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Her displacement is 41m. First, she walks 32m to the right, then 12m to the left. I subtract 12 from 32 to get 20m. She walks 28m to the right. Add 28 to 20 and you get 48. Finally, she walks 7m to the left. Subtract 7, then you get 41m.
