Question 14

An industrial high-intensity discharge lamp is operated using a step-up transformer connected to a 120 V AC mains supply. The transformer has 150 turns on its primary coil and 3000 turns on its secondary coil. The equivalent resistance of the discharge lamp under operating conditions is 80 kΩ80\text{ k}\Omega80 kΩ and it is connected directly across the secondary coil. Assuming the transformer is ideal, what is the current through the discharge lamp?
