Questions
Question 1
*
What physical effect allows a transformer to transfer energy between coils?
Question 2
*
State the ideal transformer voltage ratio.
Question 3
*+
Does a step-up transformer increase or decrease current in the ideal model?
Question 4
**
A transformer has \(N_p=200\), \(N_s=1000\), and \(V_p=24\,\mathrm V\). Find \(V_s\).
Question 5
**
An ideal transformer has \(V_p=240\,\mathrm V\), \(V_s=12\,\mathrm V\), and \(I_s=5.0\,\mathrm A\). Find \(I_p\).
Question 6
**+
A transformer steps \(120\,\mathrm V\) up to \(480\,\mathrm V\). If the primary has \(150\) turns, find the secondary turns.
Question 7
***
A real transformer takes \(500\,\mathrm W\) from the primary and delivers \(450\,\mathrm W\) to the secondary. Find its efficiency.
Question 8
***
Why does an ideal transformer not work with steady DC?
Question 9
****
An ideal transformer has turns ratio \(N_s/N_p=4.0\). A \(10\,\Omega\) load is connected to the secondary. What effective resistance is seen by the primary?
Question 10
****+
Derive the ideal transformer current ratio from the voltage ratio and conservation of power.
