WAEC - Physics (2018 - No. 32)

The primary of a transformer has 100 turns and its secondary has 200 turns. If the voltage at the primary is 100V, determine the voltage at the secondary.
50V
100V
200V
400V

Förklaring

The ideal transformer (either step-up or step-down) works with the equation:

\(\frac{V_{s}}{V_{p}} = \frac{N_{s}}{N_{p}} = \frac{I_{p}}{I_{s}}\)

where \(V_{s}\) and \(V_{p}\) are the voltages applied to the secondary and the primary respectively

\(N_{s}\) and \(N_{p}\) are the number of turns on the secondary and primary coils respectively

\(I_{p}\) and \(I_{s}\) are the currents flowing in the primary and secondary coils respectively.

\(\frac{V_{s}}{100} = \frac{200}{100}\)

\(V_{s} = \frac{200\times 100}{100} = 200V\)
