JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 24th February Morning Shift - No. 24)
A common transistor radio set requires 12 V (D.C.) for its operation. The D.C. source is constructed by using a transformer and a rectifier circuit, which are operated at 220 V (A.C.) on standard domestic A.C. supply. The number of turns of secondary coil are 24, then the number of turns of primary are ___________.
Answer
440
Explanation
In a transformer,
$${{{N_p}} \over {{N_s}}} = {{{V_p}} \over {{V_s}}}$$
where, Np = number of turns in primary circuit, Ns = number of turns in secondary circuit = 24, Vp = potential of primary circuit = 220 V and Vs = potential of secondary circuit = 12 V
$$ \Rightarrow {{{N_p}} \over {24}} = {{220} \over {12}}$$
$$ \Rightarrow {N_p} = 440$$
$${{{N_p}} \over {{N_s}}} = {{{V_p}} \over {{V_s}}}$$
where, Np = number of turns in primary circuit, Ns = number of turns in secondary circuit = 24, Vp = potential of primary circuit = 220 V and Vs = potential of secondary circuit = 12 V
$$ \Rightarrow {{{N_p}} \over {24}} = {{220} \over {12}}$$
$$ \Rightarrow {N_p} = 440$$
