B. |
Step down transformer because number of turns in the primary is more than the number of turns in the secondary. |
|
C. |
Step up trnasformer because number of turns in the secondary is more than the number of turns in the primary. |
|
D. |
Neither step up nor step down transformer because it runs at very high power. |

- Construct Your Own Problem Consider a double transformer to be used to create very large voltages. The device consists of two stages. The first is a transformer that produces a much larger output voltage than its input. The Output of the first transformer is used as input to a second transformer that further increases the voltage. Construct a problem in which you calculate the output voltage of the final stage based on the input voltage of the first Stage and the number of turns or loops in bath parts of both transformers (four coils in all). Also calculate the maximum output current of the final stage based on the input current. Discuss the possibility of power losses in the devices and the effect on the output current and power.arrow_forwardUnreasonable Results The 335 kV AC electricity from a power transmission line is fed into the primary coil of a transformer.
