AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating transformer parameters using a transformation ratio of 1/5, an input current of 2 Amps, and a load resistor of 2 ohms. The user correctly determines the input impedance (Rin) as 0.08 ohms using the formula Rin = A^2ZL. Additionally, they calculate the secondary current (IL) as 0.4 Amps based on the transformation ratio. The responses confirm the user's calculations and suggest they can now proceed to find the voltage (VL). Overall, the calculations for impedance and current appear accurate.

Homework Statement



See attached for a view of the problem

Variables a=transformation ratio= 1/5
Ip=2Amps
ZL=2 ohm resistor

Homework Equations


Q1 : Find the current magnitude of the current IL and the Voltage VL
Q2 : Find the input impedence.


The Attempt at a Solution



OK, my question is variable a, which is the transformation ratio is 1/5. From my reading the transformation ratio is equal to the number of turns of the primary divided by the number turns of the secondary...

How

so a= NP/NS = 1/5

NP =1 turn Per NS =5

Then, the input impedence should be Rin = A^2ZL

Rin = (1/5)^2(2 ohms)

Rin = .08 ohms

Does that look correct for the impedance?


Then for the current for IL, a = Is/Ip or Is = (a)(Ip) or Is = .4 amps


does it look correct?

Thanks for any response :)

Yes, these figures look correct. You should be able to readily calculate VL now.
 
Awesome :) thanks for your response :)
