an someone please help me out on this...
An ideal transformer has 50 turns in its primary and 250 turns in its secondary. 12 V ac is connected to the primary. Find:
1. The volts ac available at the secondary
2. Current in the 10 device connected to t he secondary
3. Power supplied to the primary
4. Power supplied to the secondary
1. Vout = Turns ratio * Vin
= 5*12 V= 60 V
2. Iout = Vout/(10 ohms)
3. Vin * Iout/(turns ratio)
4. Vout* Iout = [Vin/(turns ratio)]Iout
= same as previous answer
Sure, I can help you with that.
To find the answers, we can use the basic principles of transformers. In an ideal transformer, the ratio of the number of turns in the primary coil (N1) to the number of turns in the secondary coil (N2) is equal to the ratio of the voltage in the primary coil (V1) to the voltage in the secondary coil (V2). This can be written as:
(V1/V2) = (N1/N2)
Now, let's solve each question step by step.
1. The volts AC available at the secondary:
We are given the voltage in the primary coil (V1) as 12V AC. We are required to find the voltage in the secondary coil (V2). Using the transformer equation mentioned above, we have:
(12V/V2) = (50/250)
Cross-multiplying and solving for V2:
V2 = (12V x 250) / 50 = 60V AC
So, the voltage available at the secondary is 60V AC.
2. The current in the 10 Ω device connected to the secondary:
To find the current, we need to use Ohm's Law, which states that current (I) is equal to voltage (V) divided by resistance (R). In this case, the resistance (R) is given as 10 Ω, and the voltage (V) is the secondary voltage we found in the previous step (V2 = 60V AC).
I = V / R = 60V / 10 Ω = 6A
Therefore, the current flowing through the 10 Ω device connected to the secondary is 6A.
3. The power supplied to the primary:
The power supplied to the primary (P1) can be calculated using the formula:
P1 = V1 x I1
Since we are not given the primary current (I1), we can use the transformer equation to find it. As the number of turns in the primary (N1) is 50, and in the secondary (N2) is 250, the current ratio will be the inverse of the voltage ratio:
(I1/I2) = (N2/N1) = 250/50 = 5
Now, we can calculate the primary current (I1) by dividing the secondary current (I2) by the transformer current ratio:
I1 = I2 / (N2/N1) = 6A / 5 = 1.2A
Using this value, we can now calculate the power supplied to the primary:
P1 = V1 x I1 = 12V x 1.2A = 14.4W
Therefore, the power supplied to the primary is 14.4W.
4. The power supplied to the secondary:
The power supplied to the secondary (P2) can be calculated using the formula:
P2 = V2 x I2
Using the values we have already calculated, we can find the power supplied to the secondary:
P2 = 60V x 6A = 360W
Therefore, the power supplied to the secondary is 360W.
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to solve these types of transformer-related problems!
