A step-down transformer has 67 turns in its primary coil and 13 turns in its secondary coil. The primary coil is connected to standard household voltage 

(rms = 120.0 V, 60.0 Hz).

 Suppose the secondary coil is connected to a 12.0-Ω resistor.

 

(a) What is the maximum current in the resistor?

(b) What is the average power dissipated by the resistor?
