The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the situation involving the transformer connected to a DC source. ### Step 1: Understand the transformer operation A transformer operates on the principle of mutual induction, which requires a changing magnetic field. This changing magnetic field is produced by alternating current (AC). When a direct current (DC) is applied, the magnetic field does not change after the initial current flow, leading to no induced voltage in the secondary coil. **Hint:** Remember that transformers rely on alternating current to function properly. ### Step 2: Analyze the given information - The primary voltage (V_p) is 10 volts (DC). - The primary current (I_p) is 1 mA (0.001 A). - The number of turns in the primary winding (N_p) is 50. - The number of turns in the secondary winding (N_s) is 100. **Hint:** Identify the key parameters given in the problem: voltage, current, and number of turns. ### Step 3: Apply the transformer equation The transformer equation relates the primary and secondary voltages and currents to the number of turns in the windings: \[ \frac{V_s}{V_p} = \frac{N_s}{N_p} \] \[ \frac{I_s}{I_p} = \frac{N_p}{N_s} \] However, since we are using a DC source, we cannot apply these equations directly because the transformer will not operate as intended. **Hint:** Recall that the transformer equations are valid only for AC sources. ### Step 4: Determine the secondary voltage (V_s) Since the primary is connected to a DC source, there is no changing magnetic field, and thus no voltage is induced in the secondary coil. Therefore: \[ V_s = 0 \text{ volts} \] **Hint:** Consider the implications of using a DC source on the transformer’s operation. ### Step 5: Determine the secondary current (I_s) Since there is no voltage induced in the secondary coil, there will be no current flowing through it. Therefore: \[ I_s = 0 \text{ A} \] **Hint:** If there is no voltage, there can be no current in the circuit. ### Conclusion The voltage in the secondary (V_s) is 0 volts, and the current drawn by the circuit in the secondary (I_s) is 0 A. **Final Answer:** - Voltage in the secondary (V_s) = 0 V - Current in the secondary (I_s) = 0 A
