neon sign transformer has a 460W AC output with an rms voltage of 15 kV when connected to a normal household outlet. There are 500 turns of wire in the primary coil. How many turns of wire does the secondary coil have

The number of turns in the secondary coil is 62,500 turns.

Explanation:

Given;

power of the transformer, P = 460 W

output voltage, V₂ = 15 kV = 15,000 V

input voltage of normal household outlet, V₁ = 120 V

number of turns in the primary coil, N₁ = 500 turns

number of turns in the secondary coil, N₂ = ?

Apply the following the transformer equation;

Therefore, the number of turns in the secondary coil is 62,500 turns.
