Question

Consider a transformer, used to recharge rechargeable flashlight batteries, that has 500 turns in its primary coil, 4 turns in its secondary coil, and an input voltage of 120 V.

 

Note that n = 4

 

(a) Given that the input current I(p) is 0.0256 A,  to produce a 3.2 A output current, convert 0.0256 A to milliamps.

 

I(p) =

 

Part (c) What is the power input, in watts? (Explain thoroughly whether or not you use amps or milliamps for this calculation)
