Question 2

The primary coil of a transformer has 800 turns and the secondary coil has 8 turns. It is connected to a 220 V a.c. supply. What will be the output voltage?

Answer

Given,

Np = 800

Ns = 8

Ep = 220 V

Es = ?

Now,

EsEp=NsNp\dfrac{E_s}{E_p} = \dfrac{N_s}{N_p}

Substituting the values in the formula we get,

Es220=8800Es=220×8800Es=2.2V\dfrac{E_s}{220} = \dfrac{8}{800} \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow E_s = 220 \times \dfrac{8}{800} \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow E_s = 2.2 V \\[0.5em]

Hence, output voltage = 2.2 V
