No it isn't. (Unless you connect it backwards.)

If the primary has 10 turns and the secondary has 70 turns,
then the voltage that appears across the secondary is
7 times the voltage that you feed to the primary.

If you're 'exciting' the primary with 170 volts, then you need
to be cautious around the secondary terminals, because there's 
1,190 volts there !

If you want to use your transformer in a step-down configuration,
you can certainly connect it up the other way around.

Feed the 170 volts to the winding with 70 turns.  You've reversed
the labels 'primary' and 'secondary', and that's OK.  The voltage
at the terminals of the 10-turn winding will be (170/7) = 24.3 volts.

An automobile battery has an emf of 12.6 V and an internal resistance of 0.0600 . The headlights together present equivalent res

Answer:

(a) V=11.86\ V

(b) V=9.76\ V

Explanation:

<u>Electric Circuits</u>

Suppose we have a resistive-only electric circuit. The relation between the current I and the voltage V in a resistance R is given by the Ohm's law:

V=R.I

(a) The electromagnetic force of the battery is \varepsilon =12.6\ V and its internal resistance is R_i=0.06\ \Omega. Knowing the equivalent resistance of the headlights is R_e=5.2\ \Omega, we can compute the current of the circuit by using the Kirchhoffs Voltage Law or KVL:

\varepsilon=i.R_i+i.R_e=i.(R_i+R_e)

Solving for i

\displaystyle i=\frac{\varepsilon}{ R_i+R_e}=\frac{12}{0.06+5.2}=2.28\ A

i=2.28\ A

The potential difference across the headlight  bulbs is

V=\varepsilon  -i.R_i=12\ V-2.28\ A\cdot 0.06\ \Omega=11.86\ V

V=11.86\ V

(b) If the starter motor is operated, taking an additional 35 Amp from the battery, then the total load current is 2.28 A + 35 A = 37.28 A. Thus the output voltage of the battery, that is the voltage that the bulbs have is

V=\varepsilon  -i.R_i=12\ V-37.28\ A\cdot 0.06\ \Omega=9.76\ V

Consider a 7 m stretched string that is clamped at both ends. What is the longest wavelength standing wave that it can support (
user100 [1]

A vibrating stretched string has nodes or fixed points at each end. The string will vibrate in its fundamental frequency with just one anti node in the middle - this gives half a wave.

l=\frac{\lambda }{2}

Rearranging for the wavelength

\lambda=2l

\lambda =2(7)

\lambda = 14m

Therefore the longest wavelength standing wave that it can support is 14m

A tortoise is walking in the desert. It walks<br> 6.4 meters in<br> 4 minutes. What is its speed?
labwork [276]

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

             =  (6.4 meters)  /  (4 minutes)

             =    (6.4/4)  (meter/minute)  =  1.6 meter per minute .
