A transformer is used to step down the potential difference (p.d.) of an alternating current supply.

The table below shows the specifications and measurement data for this transformer:

ParameterValue
Number of turns on the primary coil2400
Number of turns on the secondary coil150
p.d. across the primary coil120 V
Current in the secondary coil8.0 A
a.

Calculate the potential difference across the secondary coil of the transformer.
