The generator at a power plant produces AC at 24,000 V. A transformer steps this up to 345,000 V for transmission over power lines. If there are 2,000 turns of wire in the input coil of the transformer, how many turns must there be in the output coil?

Answer 1

For transformers, the turns ratio equals the voltage ratio.

2000/n = 24,000/345,000

Solve for n.

Answer 2
