The electricity supplied through a city power line is transmitted at 14,300 V. On each city block there are one or more neighborhood transformers on utility poles that transform the potential difference to 120 V, as used in homes and businesses. If the number of turns on the primary is 8580 turns how many should be on the secondary? I
