Problem

An ideal step-down transformer has a primary to secondary turns ratio of 6:16{:}1. The primary is supplied with an rms voltage of 240 V240\,\text{V}. The secondary is connected to a 3 Ω3\,\Omega resistor. (i) Calculate the rms current in the secondary winding. (ii) Determine the rms current in the primary winding.
