The discussion revolves around calculating transformer parameters, specifically the secondary current and primary current. The user initially calculated the secondary current as 12A but expected 24A, seeking clarification on the correct approach. It is noted that for an ideal transformer, the power input equals the output power, which is crucial for solving the problem. The user also inquires about the secondary voltage and the power across a resistor connected to the transformer’s output. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding transformer equations and relationships between voltage and current.
The answer is (B) but I don't really understand why.
Based on formula of Young Modulus:
$$x=\frac{FL}{AE}$$
The second wire made of the same material so it means they have same Young Modulus. Larger extension means larger value of ##x## so to get larger value of ##x## we can increase ##F## and ##L## and decrease ##A##
I am not sure whether there is change in ##F## for first and second wire so I will just assume ##F## does not change. It leaves (B) and (C) as possible options so why is (C)...
