A transformer has \( N_p = 100 \) and \( N_s = 200 \). If the primary voltage is \( 220 \, \text{V} \) (rms), what is th

**AC generator** converts mechanical to electrical, emf e = N B A ω sin ωt, maximum e₀ = N B A ω, frequency = rotation frequency, transformer cannot work on DC because steady flux no induction, LC oscillations energy swaps between ½ L I² and ½ Q²/C at ω₀=1/√(LC). (V_s/V_p) = (N_s/N_p) . V_s = V_p × (N_s/N_p) = 220 × (200/100) = 440 V . Applying X_L = ωL, X_C = 1/ωC, Z = √(R² + (X_L - X_C)²), I_rms = V_rms/Z, P = V_rms I_rms cosφ, V_s/V_p = N_s/N_p, calculation gives 440 V, consistent with phasor analysis and resonance condition X_L = X_C.

In a step-up transformer, how does the current in the secondary coil compare to the primary coil, assuming ideal conditi

**Transformer** works on mutual induction, V_s/V_p = N_s/N_p, I_s/I_p = N_p/N_s for ideal (power conserved V_p I_p = V_s I_s), step-up N_s>N_p V_s>V_p I_s V_p and N_s > N_p ), power is conserved ( V_p I_p = V_s I_s ). Since the secondary voltage is higher, the secondary current must be lower than the primary current ( I_s = I_p × (N_p/N_s) ), where (N_p/N_s) < 1 . Applying X_L = ωL, X_C = 1/ωC, Z =
