A couple questions:
1: A transformer has 100 loops in its secondary winding and is designed to accept an input AC potential difference of 830 V and produce an output of 470 V. How many loops does the transformer’s primary winding contain?
2. What is the binding energy for a nucleus of helium-4, also known as an alpha particle? A neutron has a mass of 1.00866 u, a proton has a mass of 1.00728 u, and an alpha particle has a mass of 4.00153 u, where u = 1.66054×1027 kg. Express the energy in joules to three significant figures.
Solution
1)
here ,
loops in primary , Np
loops in secondary , Ns = 100
primary voltage , Vp = 830 V
secondary voltage , Vs = 470 V
Now. for a transformer ,
Ns/Np = Vs/Vp
100/Np = 470/830
solving for Np
Np = 176.6
the number of loops in primary is 177
