The voltage across the primary coil of a 100% efficient transformer is 240 V and the voltage across the secondary coil is 16 V.
The current in the secondary coil is 3.0 A. Calculate the current in the primary coil.
Calculate the ratio of the number of turns on the primary coil to the number of turns on the secondary coil of the transformer.
