4. A businessman from Zimbabwe buys a transformer so that he can use his own electric appliances on a trip to the United States. The input coil has 60 turns while the output coil has 110 turns. Assuming the input voltage is 120 volts, what is the output voltage necessary for his appliances to work properly? (This is the standard household output voltage in Zimbabwe.)
