A transformer is used to provide voltage to a neon sign. The input voltage is 120 V and the output
voltage is 600 V. The number of turns on the primary coil of the transformer is 300. The current
supplied to the transformer is 2.5 A.
What is the number of turns on the secondary coil and the current used in the neon sign?
The number of turns in the secondary coil is 60 and the current in the sign is 2.5 A
The number of turns in the secondary coil is 240 and the current in the sign is 0.5 A
The number of turns in the secondary coil is 60 and the current in the sign is 0.5 A
The number of turns in the secondary coil is 1500 and the current in the sign is 0.5 A

A transformer is a device that takes an input voltage and produces an output voltage that can be either larger or smaller than the input voltage, depending on the transformer design. Although the voltage is changed by the transformer, energy is not, so the input power equals the output power. A particular transformer produces an output voltage that is 300 percent of the input voltage. What is the ratio of the output current to the input current?
Alternating current (AC), rather than direct current (DC), is used for the distribution of electric power. Answer true or false.
True DC transformers are useful for transmission of electric power.
False Edison promoted the use of DC.
True Edison opposed the use of AC.
True Transformers cannot change the voltage for DC.
True Transformers can change the voltage for AC.
False Edison opposed the use of DC.
