Electricity is distributed from electrical substations to neighborhoods at 13000 V. This is a 60 Hz oscillating (AC) voltage. Neighborhood transformers, seen on utility poles, step this voltage down to the 120 V that is delivered to your house. A. How many turns does the primary coil on the transformer have if the secondary coil has 120 turns?

the number of turns in the primary coil is 13000

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

V₁ = 13000 V

V₂ = 120 V

N₁ = ?

N₂ = 120 turns

the relation between the voltages and the number of turns in the primary and secondary coils can be expressed as;

V₁/V₂ = N₁/N₂

V₁N₂ = V₂N₁

N₁ = V₁N₂ / V₂

so we substitute

N₁ = (13000 V × 120 turns) / 120 V

N₁ = 1560000 V-turns / 120 V

N₁ = 13000 turns

Therefore, the number of turns in the primary coil is 13000
