Question

What is the output voltage from a step up transformer with 25 turns in the primary coil and 75 turns in the secondary coil if the input voltage was 120 V?

Answer 1

Answer:

360 V

Explanation:

We can use the transformer equation:

$\frac{V_p}{N_p}=\frac{V_s}{N_s}$

where

$V_p$ is the primary (input) voltage

$N_p$ is the number of turns in the primary coil

$V_s$ is the secondary (output) voltage

$N_s$ is the number of turns in the secondary coil

In this problem,

$V_p = 120 V\\N_p = 25\\N_s = 75$

Substituting into the equation, we can find the output voltage:

$V_s = N_s \frac{V_p}{N_p}=(75)\frac{120}{25}=360 V$
