Question
An ideal transformer has N1 windings in the primary and N2 windings in its secondary. If you double only the number of secondary windings, by what factor does (a) the voltage amplitude in the secondary change, and (b) the effective resistance of the secondary circuit change?
Solution
The first step in solving 31 problem number 17 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: An ideal transformer has N1 windings in the primary and N2 windings in its secondary. If you double only the number of secondary windings, by what factor does (a) the voltage amplitude in the secondary change, and (b) the effective resistance of the secondary circuit change?
From the textbook chapter Alternating Current you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
