Atransformer has a primary voltage of 115 v and a secondary voltage of 24 v. if the number of turns in the primary is 345, how many turns are in the secondary? a. 8 b. 690 c. 72 d. 1,653

C. 72

Explanation:

Transformer: A transformer is an electromagnetic device that uses the property of mutual inductance to change the voltage of alternating supply.

In a ideal transformer,

Vs/Vp = Ns/Np Equation 1

Where Vp = primary voltage, Vs = secondary voltage, Ns = Secondary turn, Np = primary turn.

Making Ns the subject of the equation,

Ns =(Vs/Vp)Np Equation 2

Given: Vs = 24 V, Vp = 115 V, Np = 345.

Substitute into equation 2

Ns = (24/115)345

Ns = 72 turns.

Thus the number of turns in the secondary = 72 turns.

The right option is C. 72

answer: b.
