Question

The generator at a power plant produces AC at 20,000 V. A transformer steps this up to 355,000 V for transmission over power lines. If there are 2,250 turns of wire in the input coil of the transformer, how many turns must there be in the output coil

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of coil in the output is 39938

Explanation:

We have given a step up transformer

Input voltage of transformer, that is primary voltage $v_p=20000volt$

Output voltage, that is secondary voltage $v_s=355000volt$

Number of turns in primary $N_p=2250$

For transformer we know that $\frac{V_p}{V_s}=\frac{N_p}{N_s}$

$\frac{20000}{355000}=\frac{2250}{N_s}$

$N_s=39937.5$

As the number of turns can not be in fraction so number of turns in the output coil is 39938
