A physics lab is designed to study the transfer of electrial energy from one circuit to another by means of a magnetic field using simple transformers. Each transformer has two coils of wire electrically insulated from each other but wound a round a common core of ferromagnetic material. The two wires are close together but do not touch each other
The primary `(1^(@))` coil is connected to a source of alternating `(AC)` current. The secondary `(2^(@))` coil is connected to resistor such as a light bulb. The `AC` source produces on oscillating voltage and current in the primary coil that produces an oscillating megnetic field in the core. material. This in turn induces an oscillating voltage and `AC` curent in the secondary coil
Students collected the following data comparing the number of turns per coil `(N)`, the voltage `(V)` and the current `(I)` in the coils of three transformers.
`|{:("Transformer","primary coil","Secondary coil"),(1,100 . 10V.10A,200.20V.5A),(2,100.10V.10A,50.5V.5A),(3,100.10V.10A,100.5V.20A):}|`
A `12 V` battery is used to supply `2.0 mA` of current to the 300 turns in the primary coil of a given transformer. What is the current in the secondary coil if `N_(2) = 150` turns.
A. zero
B. `1.0 mA`
C. `2.0 mA`
D. `4.0 mA`
