Answer:
N₁ = 1800 turns
So, the side of the transformer that plugs into the outlet has 1800 turns.
Explanation:
The transformer turns ratio is given by the following equation:
V₁/V₂ = N₁/N₂
where,
V₁ = Voltage of outlet = 120 V
V₂ = Device Voltage = 3 V
N₁ = No. of turns on outlet side = ?
N₂ = No. of turns on side of device = 45
Therefore,
120 V/3 V = N₁/45
N₁ = (40)(45)
N₁ = 1800 turns
So, the side of the transformer that plugs into the outlet has 1800 turns.
