In a non-ideal transformer, provide a physical explanation as to why the current in the primary coil changes when the resistor in the secondary coil changes.
The output current of a transformer in which the voltage is stepped down is usually higher than the input current. Explain why?
A step down transformer produces produces a voltage of 6 volts across the sec- ondary coil when the voltage across the primary coil is 120 V. If we now drove this circuit in the reverse direction, what voltage appears across the original primary coil when 120 V is applied to the original sec- ondary coil?
