A step up transformer is powered by a 110 V line and supplies 2 A on the secondary side. The secondary coil has a 25:1 turn ratio with the primary coil. Assume 100% efficiency. a) What is the current on the primary side? b) What is the peak power output on the secondary side?
Solution
Volatge on secondary V \' = 110 volt
Current in secondary i \' = 2 A
Number of truns in primary N = N
Number of truns in secondary N \' = N \'
Given N \' / N = 25 / 1
(a). We know i \' / i = N / N \'
= 1/25
From this current in primary i = 25 i \'
= 25(2 A)
= 50 A
(b).Peak power in secondary = V \' i \'
= 110 x 2
= 220 W
