Question

A step-down transformer is to be used to convert an ac voltage of 120 V120 \mathrm{~V} to 6 V6 \mathrm{~V} to power an electric train. If there are 300 turns in the primary coil, how many turns should there be in the secondary coil?

We will solve this part of the problem by using equation that relates voltages in primary and secondary coil with number of turns in primary and secondary coil. We are given:

  • number of turns in primary coil Npr=300N_{pr}=300
  • AC voltage applied across primary coil Vpr=120 VV_{pr}=120 \mathrm{~V}
  • AC voltage across secondary coil Vsc=6 VV_{sc}=6 \mathrm{~V}
