AI Thread Summary
The primary coil of an ideal transformer is connected to a 120-V source, drawing 1.0 A, while the secondary coil has 600 turns and supplies 5.0 A. The voltage across the secondary coil is calculated to be 24 V, and the primary coil has 3000 turns. To determine the maximum input current before the device is destroyed, the maximum power of 210 W is used, leading to an input current calculation of approximately 1.32 A. The discussion highlights the use of transformer equations and power relationships to solve for unknowns in transformer circuits.

Homework Statement


The primary coil of an ideal transformer is connected to a 120-V source and draws 1.0 A. The secondary coil has 600 turns and supplies an output current of 5.0 A to run an electrical device.
A) What is the voltage across the secondary coil?
B) How many turns are in the primary coil?
C) If the maximum power allowed by the device (before it is destroyed) is 210 W, what is the maximum input current to this transformer?


Homework Equations


V2=V1I1/I2
N1=N2I2/I1
and ? I=P/V ?


The Attempt at a Solution


I found part A) to be V2=24, and part B) to be N1=3000. The only equation I can think of for part C) is I=P/V. P is given to be 210 W. I tried plugging V1 and V2 in that equation and haven't gotten the right answer. Can someone given me an idea how to go about this? I can't find anything in the text.

Maybe you won't see this reply or no more need help but let me reply.

Let's find R(load resistance) from first,

R=V/I = 24/5 ohm

and

Vs= Is*R = Is * 24/5 Volt

also

Ps=Pp= 210 watt

lets use these,

Ps= Vs*Is = Is * 24/5 * Is = 210 watt

Is^2 = 210 * 5/24 A

Is = 6.61 A

now let's find input current. From

Ip/Is = Ns/Np

and

Ip=Ns/Np * Is = 600/3000 * 6.61 = 1,322 A

I suppose approx. correct.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged 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...
