The number of windings on the primary coil of a transformer
is 1.5 times greater than on the secondary coil. The primary
coil has a current of 3.0 A and a voltage of 12.0 V. Determine
the voltage and current on the secondary coil.

Answer:

I. Vs = 8.0 Volts.

II. Is = 4.5 Amperes.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Np = 1.5Ns = [tex] \frac {N_{P}}{N_{S}} = 1.5 [/tex]  ..... equation 1

Ip = 3.0 A

Vp = 12 V

To find the voltage and current on the secondary coil;

I. For the voltage in the secondary coil (Vs), we would use the following formula;

[tex] \frac {V_{P}}{V_{S}} = \frac {N_{P}}{N_{S}} [/tex]  ...... equation 2.

Substituting eqn 1 into eqn 2, we have;

[tex] \frac {V_{P}}{V_{S}} = 1.5 [/tex]

[tex] \frac {12}{V_{S}} = 1.5 [/tex]

Cross-multiplying, we have;

[tex] V_{S} * 1.5 = 12 [/tex]

[tex] V_{S} = \frac {12}{1.5} [/tex]

Vs = 8.0 V

II. For the current in the secondary coil (Is), we would use the following formula;

[tex] \frac {I_{S}}{I_{P}} = \frac {N_{P}}{N_{S}} [/tex]  .... equation 3

Substituting eqn 1 into eqn 3, we have;

[tex] \frac {I_{S}}{I_{P}} = 1.5 [/tex]

[tex] \frac {I_{S}}{3.0} = 1.5 [/tex]

Cross-multiplying, we have;

[tex] I_{S} = 1.5 * 3.0 [/tex]

Is = 4.5 A
