A spot-welder is a device that uses a transformer to produce a large current to join sheets of metal together.
Figure 2 shows a transformer demonstrating how a large current can heat and join two nails together
(d) Calculate the current from the power supply needed to provide a power output of 336 W.
Use the data in Figure 2.
The transformer is 100% efficient.

= V p/1.75
V p =( 640×1.75)/4
V p =280VV p ×I p =336
280×I p =336
I p =336/ 280=1.2A
