What is the voltage output (in V) of a transformer used for rechargeable flashlight batteries, if its primary has 515 turns, its secondary 8 turns, and the input voltage is 117 V

Respuesta :

Answer:

7532V

Explanation:

For a given transformer, the ratio of the number of turns in its primary coil ([tex]N_{p}[/tex]) to the number of turns in its secondary coil ([tex]N_{s}[/tex]) is equal to the ratio of the input voltage ([tex]V_{p}[/tex]) to the output voltage ([tex]V_{s}[/tex]) of the transformer. i.e

[tex]\frac{N_p}{N_s}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{V_p}{V_s}[/tex]            ----------------(i)

From the question;

[tex]N_{p}[/tex] = number of turns in the primary coil = 8 turns

[tex]N_{s}[/tex] = number of turns in the secondary coil = 515 turns

[tex]V_{p}[/tex] = input voltage = 117V

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

[tex]\frac{8}{515}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{117}{V_s}[/tex]

Solve for [tex]V_{s}[/tex];

[tex]V_{s}[/tex] = 117 x 515 / 8

[tex]V_{s}[/tex] = 7532V

Therefore, the output voltage (in V) of the transformer is 7532
