The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to use the relationship between the currents and the number of turns in the primary and secondary coils of a transformer. The formula for an ideal transformer is given by: \[ \frac{I_p}{I_s} = \frac{N_s}{N_p} \] Where: - \(I_p\) = Current in the primary circuit - \(I_s\) = Current in the secondary circuit - \(N_p\) = Number of turns in the primary coil - \(N_s\) = Number of turns in the secondary coil Given data: - \(I_p = 20 \, A\) - \(I_s = 4 \, A\) - \(N_p = 560\) We need to find \(N_s\). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Write down the known values**: - Primary current \(I_p = 20 \, A\) - Secondary current \(I_s = 4 \, A\) - Number of turns in primary \(N_p = 560\) 2. **Use the transformer equation**: \[ \frac{I_p}{I_s} = \frac{N_s}{N_p} \] 3. **Substitute the known values into the equation**: \[ \frac{20}{4} = \frac{N_s}{560} \] 4. **Simplify the left side**: \[ 5 = \frac{N_s}{560} \] 5. **Cross-multiply to solve for \(N_s\)**: \[ N_s = 5 \times 560 \] 6. **Calculate \(N_s\)**: \[ N_s = 2800 \] ### Final Answer: The number of turns in the secondary circuit \(N_s\) is **2800**.
