1. A step-up transformer increases 15.7V to 110V. What is the current in the secondary as compared to the primary? Assume 100 pe

rcent efficiency.2. An ideal step-down transformer has a primary coil of 400 turns and a secondary coil of 19 turns. It's primary coil is plugged into an outlet with 120V (AC), from which it draws an rms current of 0.51A.What is the voltage in the secondary coil?

1. I_2 = 0.14 I_1

Explanation:

We have:

V_1 = 15.7 V voltage in the primary coil

V_2 = 110 V voltage in the secondary coil

The efficiency of the transformer is 100%: this means that the power in the primary coil and in the secondary coil are equal

P_1 = P_2\\V_1 I_1 = V_2 I_2

where I1 and I2 are the currents in the two coils. Re-arranging the equation, we find

\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{15.7 V}{110 V}=0.14

which means that the current in the secondary coil is 14% of the value of the current in the primary coil.

2. 5.7 V

We can solve the problem by using the transformer equation:

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

where:

Np = 400 is the number of turns in the primary coil

Ns = 19 is the number of turns in the secondary coil

Vp = 120 V is the voltage in the primary coil

Vs = ? is the voltage in the secondary coil

Re-arranging the formula and substituting the numbers, we find:

V_s = V_p \frac{N_s}{N_p}=(120 V)\frac{19}{400}=5.7 V

you know that there are 1609 meter in a mile. the number of feet in a mile is 5280. what is the speed snail from problem 7 per m
Zanzabum

Answer:

We know that 1 meter = 100 centimeters, and 1 foot = 12 inches.

So  (1,609 meters) x (100 centimeters/meter)  =  (5,280 feet) x (12 inches/foot)

The second fraction on each side of the equation is equal to ' 1 ', because

the numerator is equal to the denominator, so sticking it in there doesn't

change the value of that side of the equation.  But now we can cancel some

units,and wind up with the units we need.

  (1,609 meters) x (100 centimeters/meter)  =  (5,280 feet) x (12 inches/foot)

        (1,609 x100) centimeters  =  (5,280 x 12) inches

            160,900 centimeters  =  63,360 inches

Divide each side by  63,360 :        2.54 centimeters =  1 inch

What can the magnetic field be used for​
deff fn [24]

Answer:

the magnetic field can be used to make electricity

Explanation:

Moving a magnet around a coil of wire, or moving a coil of wire around a magnet, pushes the electrons in the wire and creates an electrical current. Electricity generators essentially convert kinetic energy (the energy of motion) into electrical energy

Which of the following are true about a "simple compressible system"? It cannot be a mixture of different substances (e.g. oxyge
fomenos

Explanation:

The volume of a simple compressible system is not fixed. At a state of equilibrium, there should be uniformity in the entire system.

From the question we have here, these are the correct options:

1. It cannot be a mixture of different substances (e.g. oxygen and nitrogent)

2. It can be composed of any phases of a substance: solid, liquid, and/or gas

3. It's state is specified if given two independent, intensive thermodynamic properties.
