A high-intensity desk lamp is rated at 35 W but requires only 12 V. It contains a transformer that converts 120-V household voltage.
(a) Is the transformer step-up or step-down?
(b) What is the current in the secondary coil when the lamp is on?

Step 1: Understand the problem. The transformer is used to convert the household voltage (120 V) to the voltage required by the lamp (12 V). Since the output voltage (12 V) is lower than the input voltage (120 V), the transformer is a step-down transformer. This answers part (a).
Step 2: Recall the power formula. The power of the lamp is given as 35 W, and the voltage across the secondary coil is 12 V. Use the formula for electrical power: P = V I, where P is power, V is voltage, and I is current.
Step 3: Rearrange the formula to solve for the current in the secondary coil: I = P / V. Substitute the given values for P (35 W) and V (12 V) into the equation.
Step 4: Perform the division to calculate the current in the secondary coil. This will give the current in amperes (A).
Step 5: Verify the units and ensure the calculation aligns with the physical context of the problem. The current in the secondary coil should be consistent with the power and voltage provided for the lamp.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Transformers

Transformers are electrical devices that transfer electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction. They can either step up or step down voltage levels. A step-up transformer increases voltage while decreasing current, whereas a step-down transformer decreases voltage while increasing current, maintaining the power balance.

Ohm's Law

Ohm's Law is a fundamental principle in electronics that relates voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in a circuit, expressed as V = I × R. This law is crucial for calculating the current flowing through a circuit when the voltage and resistance are known, allowing for the determination of electrical parameters in devices like lamps.

Power in Electrical Circuits

Power in electrical circuits is defined as the rate at which electrical energy is consumed or produced, calculated using the formula P = V × I, where P is power in watts, V is voltage in volts, and I is current in amperes. Understanding power is essential for determining how much energy a device like a lamp uses and for analyzing the efficiency of transformers.

(III) In a circular region, there is a uniform magnetic field B\(\overrightarrow{B}\) pointing into the page (Fig. 29–56). An xy coordinate system has its origin at the circular region’s center. A free positive point charge +Q = 1.0 μC is initially at rest at a position x = +10 cm on the x axis. If the magnitude of the magnetic field is now decreased at a rate of -0.10 T/s, what force (magnitude and direction) will act on +Q?
