Question

You want the output current from the secondary coil of a transformer to be 10 times the input current to the primary coil. The ratio of the number of turns N2/N1 must be:_____________.
A. 100
B. 10
C. 1
D. 0.1

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 0.1

Explanation:

Using transformer equation,

N2/N1 = I1/I2................... Equation 1

Where N2 = secondary coil, N1 = primary coil, I1 = input current, I2 = output current.

make I2  the subject of the equation

I2 = I1/(N2/N1)............ Equation 2

From equation 2 above, For the output current of the secondary coil to be 10 times the input current, N2/N1 = 0.1

Hence the right option is D. 0.1
