1. a step-up transformer increases 15.7v to 110v. what is the current in the secondary as compared to the primary? assume 100 percent efficiency.2. an ideal step-down transformer has a primary coil of 400 turns and a secondary coil of 19 turns. it's primary coil is plugged into an outlet with 120v (ac), from which it draws an rms current of 0.51a. what is the voltage in the secondary coil?

1.

Explanation:

We have:

voltage in the primary coil

voltage in the secondary coil

The efficiency of the transformer is 100%: this means that the power in the primary coil and in the secondary coil are equal

where I1 and I2 are the currents in the two coils. Re-arranging the equation, we find

which means that the current in the secondary coil is 14% of the value of the current in the primary coil.

2. 5.7 V

We can solve the problem by using the transformer equation:

where:

Np = 400 is the number of turns in the primary coil

Ns = 19 is the number of turns in the secondary coil

Vp = 120 V is the voltage in the primary coil

Vs = ? is the voltage in the secondary coil

Re-arranging the formula and substituting the numbers, we find:

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
