Homework Statement



Can someone inform me wheher my solution is correct?

Homework Equations


V1 = E2 * (10^-3)/2*(10^-3) = 0.001
V2 = E1
Ra = (R2+R3) = 0.02
Rb = R1 = 30
n = (1/100)
n^2 = (1/100)^2

The Attempt at a Solution


I1 = (V'1 - V2)/(Ra'+Rb)
I1 = (0.001/n - 230)/(0.02/n^2 + 30)
I1=-0.9995652174

Why is this sum equated to 20mΩ ?
Yup, my error.
Anyway, after looking at problem again I solved it in different way. I think this way makes more sense (at least to me).
Previous solution did not count ).
So, can you tell me whether this one correct?

I2 = current over R2
a=100/1=100
I2=aI1
V2=V1/a
V2 = (-I1R1+E)/a
V2 = (-I2R2)+(E2* (R2/(R1+R2)))
(-I2R2)+(E2* (R2/(R1+R2)))=(-I1R1+E)/a

-(10^-3)I2+(0.6667)=-(3/10)I1+2.30

-0.1I1+(0.6667)=-(3/100)I1+2.30
-0.1I1+(3/10)I1=+2.30-(0.6667)
0.2I1 = 1.6333
I1 = 8.1665
 
loki4000, you really don't need anyone else to check your answer---because you can do the check yourself. Substitute your answer and see what the figures look like.

For example, you determined the primary current to be a little over 8A? What voltage loss would that give you across the primary's resistance, and does that sound reasonable?
 
Never mind. I solved it. Thanx for reply anyway.
