- Homework Statement
- Suppose the inner and outer solenoids are used as the primary and secondary coils respectively, and the inner solenoid is connected to the Output Ports of the signal generator on 850 interface as shown in figure 2. If the signal amplitude from the signal generator on 850 interface is set to 10V, the 850 interface will be crashed. Why? (hint: resistances of inner is 0.2 and outer is 77 ohms)
- Relevant Equations
- Vp> Vs step up transformer
Vs
I deduced that this is a step-up transformer wired backward because of the number of turns in each coil. The inner coil has a less number of terms and by the problem's wording, the inner coil is the primary coil. I'm not sure what would actually happen, a hypothesis (that I am not confident on) would be that the current, which is proportional to the resistance of each coil, needs more current when traveling from the outer coil to the inner coil?
