Question

In a transformer, the incoming primary voltage is 120 V. There are 100 windings in the primary coil. The secondary coil has 65 windings. What is the outgoing voltage of this transformer?

a
151.9 V
b
64.41 V
c
102.8 V
d
78.02 V

Answer 1

78.02 V

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Primary voltage in a transformer is 120 V

No of windings in the primary coil is 100

No of windings in the secondary coil is 65

We need to find the outgoing voltage of the transformer. For a transformer, the ratio of primary voltage to the secondary voltage is equal to the ratio of turns in Primary coil to the turns in secondary coil are equal. So,

`(V_p)/(V_s)=(N_p)/(N_s)\\\\(120)/(V_s)=(100)/(65)\\\\V_s=(120* 65)/(100)\\\\V_s=78\ V`

So, out of the given options, the correct one is option (d) i.e. 78.02 V
