(a) What is the voltage output of a transformer used for rechargeable flashlight batteries, if its primary has\(500\)turns, its secondary\(4\)turns, and the input voltage is\(120{\rm{ }}V\)?

(b) What input current is required to produce a\(4.00A\)output?

(c) What is the power input?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Voltage output of a transformer is \(0.96\;V\).
  2. Input current value is\(0.032\;A\).
  3. Input power value is \(3.84W\).

Step by step solution

01

Definition of current

Current is the term used to describe the speed at which charge moves.

02

Given information and Formula to be used 

a)

\(\begin{array}{c}{V_p} = 120V\\{N_p} = 500\\{N_s} = 4\end{array}\)

Transformer equation,

\(\frac{{{V_s}}}{{{V_p}}} = \frac{{{N_s}}}{{{N_p}}}\)

b)

\(\begin{array}{c}{V_p} = 120\;V\\{V_s} = 0.96\;V\\{I_s} = 4A\end{array}\)

Transformer equation,

\(\frac{{{V_s}}}{{{V_p}}} = \frac{{{I_p}}}{{{I_s}}}\)

c)

\(\begin{array}{c}{V_p} = 12V\\\;{I_p} = 0.032\;A\end{array}\)

Power equation,

\(P{\rm{ }} = {\rm{ }}V{\rm{ }}I\)

03

Voltage output of a transformer.

a)

Consider the transformer equation,

\(\begin{array}{c}\frac{{{V_s}}}{{{V_p}}} = \frac{{{N_s}}}{{{N_p}}}\\\frac{{{V_s}}}{{120}} = \frac{4}{{500}}\\{V_s} = 0.96\;V\end{array}\)

Therefore, Voltage output is \(0.96\;V\).

04

Calculating the Input Current

b)

Consider the transformer equation,

\(\begin{array}{c}\frac{{{V_s}}}{{{V_p}}} = \frac{{{I_p}}}{{{I_s}}}\\\frac{{0.96}}{{120}} = \frac{{{I_p}}}{4}\\{I_p} = 0.032\;A\end{array}\)

Therefore, input current value is\(0.032\;A\).

05

What is the power input?

c)

Consider the power equation,

\(\begin{array}{c}{P_p} = {V_p}{I_p}\\{P_p} = 120 \times 0.032\\ = 3.84W\end{array}\)

Therefore, input power is obtained as \(3.84W\).

A person who works with large magnets sometimes places her head inside a strong field. She reports feeling dizzy as she quickly turns her head. How might this be associated with induction?

Camera flashes charge a capacitor to high voltage by switching the current through an inductor on and off rapidly. In what time must the \(0.100{\rm{ }}A\) current through a \(2.00{\rm{ }}mH\) inductor be switched on or off to induce a \(500{\rm{ }}V\) emf?

Suppose you have a supply of inductors ranging from 1.00 nHto 10.0 H, and capacitors ranging from 0.100 pFto 0.100 F. What is the range of resonant frequencies that can be achieved from combinations of a single inductor and a single capacitor?

(a) A jet airplane with a 75.0 mwingspan is flying at 280 m /s. What emf is induced between wingtips if the vertical component of the Earth’s field is3.00×10-5T? (b) Is an emf of this magnitude likely to have any consequences? Explain.

A large power plant generates electricity at 12.0 kV. Its old transformer once converted the voltage to 335 kV. The secondary of this transformer is being replaced so that its output can be 750 kV for more efficient cross-country transmission on upgraded transmission lines.

(a) What is the ratio of turns in the new secondary compared with the old secondary?

(b) What is the ratio of new current output to old output (at 335 kV) for the same power? (c) If the upgraded transmission lines have the same resistance, what is the ratio of new line power loss to old?
