A lamp is connected to the power supply.

The lamp requires an input potential difference of 5.0V

The alternator generates a potential difference of 1.5V

The primary coil of the transformer has 150 turns.

Calculate the number of turns needed on the secondary coil


Number of turns on the secondary coil = ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

There are 45 turns in the secondary coil.

Explanation:

Given that,

Input potential of the lamp, [tex]V_{in}=5\ V[/tex]

The output potential of the lamp, [tex]V_{out}=1.5\ V[/tex]

Number of turns in primary coil, [tex]N_P=150[/tex]

We need to find the number of turns needed on the secondary coil. We know that the ratio for a transformer is as follows :

[tex]\dfrac{V_{out}}{V_{in}}=\dfrac{N_s}{N_P}\\\\N_s=\dfrac{V_{out}N_P}{V_{in}}\\\\N_s=\dfrac{1.5\times 150}{5}\\\\N_s=45\[/tex]

So, there are 45 turns in the secondary coil.
