Characteristics of Alternating Currents
 

Characteristics of Alternating Currents problem 26


The figure below shows a simple laminated iron-cored transformer consisting of a primary coil of 25,000 turns and a secondary coil of 625 turns.




The output potential difference (p.d.) is applied to a load resistor of resistance . The input p.d. is a sinusoidal alternating voltage of peak value and period .


  • Calculate the maximum value of .


  • Calculate the root-mean-square (r.m.s.) current in the load resistor.
