Answer

a) ${\bf 12,500}\;\rm turn$ b) ${\bf 2}\;\rm A$

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ We know for transformers, which have two coils (primary coil+secondary coil), that $$V_2=\dfrac{N_2V_1}{N_1}$$ where $_1$ refers to the primary coil, and $_2$ refers to the secondary coil. Solving for $N_1$, $$N_1=\dfrac{N_2V_1}{V_2}$$ Plug the known; $$N_1=\dfrac{(100)(15,000)}{(120)}=\color{red}{\bf 12,500}\;\rm turn$$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ Since we know that $P_{\rm in}=P_{\rm out}$ where $P_{\rm out}$ is from the secondary coil, and $P_{\rm in}$ is from the primary coil, $$I_1V_1=I_2V_2$$ Solving for $I_1$ to find the current in the primary coil. $$I_1=\dfrac{I_2V_2}{V_1}$$ Plug the known; $$I_1=\dfrac{(250)(120)}{(15,000)}=\color{red}{\bf 2}\;\rm A$$
