Fundamentals of Electric Circuits

A distribution transformer is used to supply a household as in Fig. 13.68. The load consists of eight 100-W bulbs, a 350-W TV, and a 15-kW kitchen range. If the secondary side of the transformer has 72 turns, calculate: (a) the number of turns of the primary winding, and (b) the current $I_p$ in the primary winding.
