Question:

Electric outlets in England are 230 V. Alice brings her electric kettle from England, where it draws \(13 \mathrm{~A}\), and wants to use it in the United States. She uses a step-up transformer to increase the \(120 \mathrm{~V}\) outlet voltage to \(230 \mathrm{~V}\), then plugs her kettle into the secondary. What is the current in the primary in the few seconds before the 15 A circuit breaker trips?
