Question 1 Report

A transformer has 300 turns of wire in the primary coil and 30 turns in the secondary coil. If the input voltage is 100 volts, the input voltage is 
Answer Details
The voltage in the secondary coil of a transformer is proportional to the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary coil to the number of turns in the primary coil. Since the secondary coil has 30 turns and the primary coil has 300 turns, the voltage in the secondary coil will be 1/10th of the voltage in the primary coil. Therefore, if the input voltage is 100 volts, the output voltage in the secondary coil would be 100 / 10 = 10 volts.
