A transformer is used in a step-down charger transformer diagnosis situation. The primary coil is connected to 240 V and 5 A. The secondary voltage is 600 V. Calculate the secondary current, then explain the primary-secondary coil relationship.

2 A. Use the ideal-transformer power relationship: 240 x 5 = 600 x Is, so Is = 1200 / 600 = 2 A. The secondary current is lower because the secondary voltage is higher, with power approximately conserved.

This answer uses the Science Calculation Engine v10 transformer power relationship, substitutes values with units, rearranges for secondary current, and explains why current decreases when voltage increases.
