How Many Turns are on the Secondary Coil of a 240V to 15V Transformer?

AI Thread Summary
To determine the number of turns on the secondary coil of a transformer with a primary coil of 6400 turns and an output of 15V, the voltage ratio formula V1/V2 = n1/n2 can be applied. Given that the primary voltage is 240V, the equation becomes 240/15 = 6400/x. Solving for x yields 400 turns on the secondary coil. This calculation is based on the principle that the voltage ratio is directly proportional to the turns ratio in a transformer. Understanding this relationship is essential for applications involving transformers.

A battery charger which works from the 240 V mains supply contains a transformer which provides an output of 15 V.

What is the number of turns on the secondary coil if there are 6400 turns on the primary coil of the transformer?

Do you know absolutely nothing about this? Does knowing that 240= 15(16) help?
 
As far as I know, for a transformer V1/V2 = n1/n2 where V1 and V2 are voltages and n1 and n2 are numbers of turns on coils. So in this case you have to solve 240/15 = 6400/x. Honestly, I'm not fully certain is this correct, We'll begin electrodynamics next week at school. But anyway, I hope that helps.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
