Chapter 4: Q17DQ (page 1044)

An ideal transformer has N1 windings in the primary and N2windings in its secondary. If you double only the number of secondary windings, by what factor does (a) the voltage amplitude in the secondary change, and (b) the effective resistance of the secondary circuit change?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)The voltage amplitude in the secondary coil is doubled.

(b) The resistance increases four times.

Step by step solution

01

Step-1: Formulas used  

Terminal voltage across the primary and the secondary coils are related to the number of turns by the equation

N2N1=V2V1

Also for a transformer,

I1=V1(N2N1)2R

02

Step-2: Calculations for secondary voltage

As shown by the equation in step 1, the voltage amplitude is directly proportional to the number of turns. So, when the number of turns is doubled, the voltage amplitude in the secondary coil is also doubled.

03

Step-3: Calculations for resistance

From the given equation in step-1

R2R1=N2N12.

So, on doubling the number of turns, the resistance increases four times.

Hence, (a)The voltage amplitude in the secondary coil is doubled.

(b) The resistance increases four times.

Question: A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hair dryer into the same outlet. The hair dryer has power settings of 600 W, 900 W, 1200 W, and 1500 W. You start with the hair dryer on the 600-W setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips. What power setting caused the breaker to trip?
