Question 1 Report

A transformer with 5500 turns in its primary winding is used between a 240V a.c supply and 120V kettle. Calculate the number of turns in the secondary winding
Answer Details
The voltage ratio of a transformer is equal to the turns ratio. In this case, the primary winding has 5500 turns and is connected to a 240V supply, while the secondary winding is connected to a 120V kettle. Since the voltage is halved from the primary to the secondary, we know that the turns ratio must also be halved. Thus, the number of turns in the secondary winding would be: 5500 / 2 = 2750 Therefore, the answer is 2750.
