Question 3

A power adapter for a smart speaker contains a transformer with a primary coil and a secondary coil.

The potential difference across the primary coil = 240 V.

The potential difference across the secondary coil = 9.0 V.

The current in the secondary coil is 1.6 A.

Calculate the current in the primary coil.

Use the equation:

current in primary=potential difference across secondary×current in secondarypotential difference across primary \text{current in primary} = \frac{\text{potential difference across secondary} \times \text{current in secondary}}{\text{potential difference across primary}} current in primary=potential difference across primarypotential difference across secondary×current in secondary​
