Question 6

In an experiment, a student uses an electrical heater connected to a power supply.

a.

The current in the electrical heater is 1.8 A1.8\text{ A}1.8 A. The voltage (p.d.) across the heater is 20 V20\text{ V}20 V.

Calculate the energy transferred to the heater in 150 s150\text{ s}150 s.

The power supply includes a transformer.

The voltage (VpV_{\text{p}}Vp​) across the primary coil of the transformer is 230 V230\text{ V}230 V. The voltage (VsV_{\text{s}}Vs​) across the secondary coil of the transformer is 20 V20\text{ V}20 V. The number of turns on the primary coil (NpN_{\text{p}}Np​) is 115011501150.

Calculate the number of turns (NsN_{\text{s}}Ns​) on the secondary coil.
