Physics Question on Resistance
Primary coil of a transformer is connected to 220 V ac. Primary and secondary turns of the transforms are 100 and 10 respectively. Secondary coil of transformer is connected to two series resistance shown in shown in figure. The output voltage (V0) is :
15 V
7 V
44 V
22 V
7 V
Solution
Calculate the Secondary Voltage Using the Turns Ratio: The turns ratio for a transformer is given by:
ϵ2ϵ1=N2N1
Substitute N1=100, N2=10, and ϵ1=220V:
ϵ2=N1N2×ϵ1=10010×220=22V
Determine the Equivalent Resistance of the Load: The load consists of two resistances, 15Ω and 7Ω, connected in series:
Req=15+7=22Ω
Calculate the Current in the Secondary Circuit: Using Ohm’s law for the secondary circuit:
I=Reqϵ2=22Ω22V=1A
Calculate the Output Voltage Across the 7 Ω Resistor: The output voltage V0 across the 7Ω resistor is:
V0=I×7=1A×7Ω=7V.
