Question

A transformer winding contains 900 turns of wire which creates 400 ohms of primary importance how many terms of the same size wire required to create a secondary impedance of 25 ohms

Answer 1

Answer: 255

255 turns are required to create 25 ohms of  secondary impedance.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns in primary wire N₁ = 900

impedance on Primary wire Z₁ = 400 ohms

Number of turns in Secondary wire N₂ = ?

impedance on Secondary wire Z₂ = 25 ohms

we know that, the relationship between turn and impedance is

Zp / Zs = ( Np / Ns )²

(Primary impedance / secondary impedance) = Number of turns in primary wire / Number of turns in secondary wire)²

there fore

Z₁ / Z₂ = ( N₁ / N₂ )²

Now we substitute

( 400 / 25 ) = ( 900 / N₂ )²

400 / 25 = 900² / N₂²

we cross multiple to get our N₂

400 × N₂² =  900² × 25

N₂² = ( 900² × 25 ) / 400

N₂² = ( 810000 × 25 ) / 400

N₂² = 20250000 / 400

N₂² = 50625

N₂ = √50625

N₂ = 225

Therefore 255 turns are required to create 25 ohms of  secondary impedance.
