(b) Np = 140 , Ns = 280, Ip = 4A, Is = ?

For a transformer Is / Ip =NP / Ns

? Is /4 = 140 / 250 ? Is = 2A

We know that for a transformer I1N1 = I2N2 where I1 and I2 are the currents through the coil and N1 = N2 are the number of turns in the primary and secondary coils.

Therefore, I2 = I1N1/ N2

=4 x 140 / 280

= 2A
