Solve the following problems.
1. A portable x-ray unit has a step-up transformer, the 120 V input of which is
transformed to the 100 000 V output needed by the x-ray tube. The primary has 50
loops and draws a current of 10.00 A when in use. (a) What is the number of loops in
the secondary? (b) Find the current output of the secondary.
Given : Np = 50 loops a. Ns
Vp = 120 V
Vs = 100 000 V Formula : Ns = NpVs / Vp
Ip = 10.00 A
Solution : (50 loops) (100 000 V) / 120 V
5000 000 loops / 120 V
b. Is
Formula : Is = NpIp / Ns
Solution :
(50 loops) (10.00 A) / 41666.67 loops
500 A / 41666.67
2. A step down transformer has 530 turns in its secondary and 12 500 turns in its
primary. If the potential difference across the primary is 3510 V, what is the potential
difference across the secondary?
3. A transformer has primary coil with 1200 loops and secondary coil with 1000 loops. If
the current in the primary coil is 4 A, then what is the current in the secondary coil?
4. A transformer has a primary coil and a secondary coil with the number of loops are
500 and 5000. Input voltage is 220 V. What is the output voltage?
Formula : Vs = VpNs / Np
