A primary coil of a transformer is connected to a 120V/60Hz wall outlet. The secondary coil is connected to a lamp that dissipates 60 W. How do I find the rms current in the primary coil?

0.5Amperes

Explanation:

Using the conservation of power formula

P = VI

The power we have in this coil is given as

P = 60 watts

Then we have V = 120 watts

Such that when we put these values into the formula above we will get:

60 = 120I

Then when we divide through by 120:

I = 60/120

I = 0.5 amperes

So 0.5 amperes is the rms in the primary coil.

convex lenses are thicker at the middle. rays of light that pass through the lens are brought closer together (they converge). a convex lens is a converging lens. when parallel rays of light pass through a convex lens the refracted rays converge at one point called the principal focus.
