Task C: Transformer calculations

Answer the following questions, showing all of your working out.

1) There are 88 turns on the primary coil of a transformer that has a p.d. of 12 V
across it. How many turns are needed on the secondary coil for it to have a p.d. of 66
V across it?

2) A transformer for a laptop changes mains p.d. into the 19.5 V supply that it needs.
How many turns are needed on the secondary coil, if there are 4600 turns on the
primary coil?

3) The laptop in question (2) supplies a current of 3.33 A to the laptop. How much
current does the transformer draw from the mains supply?
