Question

The output side of an ideal transformer has 35 turns, and supplies 2.0 A to a 24-W device. Ifthe input is a standard wall outlet, calculate the number of turns on the input side, and the currentdrawn from the outlet.

Answer 1

Answer:

The current drawn from the outlet is 0.2 A

The number of turns on the input side is 350 turns

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns of the secondary coil, Ns = 35 turns

the output current, $I_s$ = 2 A

power supplied, $P_s$ = 24 W

the standard wall outlet in most homes = 120 V = input voltage

For an ideal transformer; output power = input power

the current drawn from the outlet is calculated;

$I_pV_p = P_s\\\\I_p = \frac{P_s}{V_p} = \frac{24}{120} = 0.2 \ A$

The number of turns on the input side is calculated as;

$\frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{I_s}{I_p} \\\\N_p = \frac{N_sI_s}{I_p} \\\\N_p = \frac{35 \times 2}{0.2} \\\\N_p = 350 \ turns$
