Question

The primary circuit of a transformer has a voltage of 80 V and 300 windings. The secondary circuit has a voltage of 240. How many windings are there in the secondary circuit? *

Answer 1

Answer:

900 windings

Explanation:

Applying,

Vs/Vp = Ns/Np............. Equation 1

Where Vs = Secondary voltage, Vp = primary voltage, Ns = Number of turns in the secondary circuit, Np = number of turns in the primary circuit

make Ns the subject of the equation

Ns = VsNp/Vp........... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: Vs = 240 V, Np = 300 windings, Vp  = 80 V

Substitute these values into equation 2

Ns = (240×300)/80

Ns = 900 windings
