Chapter 22 Problem 22.116

Question

The secondary coil of a step-up transformer provides the voltage that operates an electrostatic air filter. The turns ratio of the transformer is 50 :1. The primary coil is plugged into a standard 120-V outlet. The current in the secondary coil is 1.7 103 A. Find the power consumed by the air filter.

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 22 problem number 115 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The secondary coil of a step-up transformer provides the voltage that operates an electrostatic air filter. The turns ratio of the transformer is 50 :1. The primary coil is plugged into a standard 120-V outlet. The current in the secondary coil is 1.7 103 A. Find the power consumed by the air filter.
From the textbook chapter Electromagnetic Induction you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
