An ideal transformer has 50 turns on the primary and 100 turns on the secondary, with 110 V on the primary. What is the secondary voltage?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 220 V
- Step 1: For an ideal transformer Vs / Vp = Ns / Np.
- Step 2: Vs = 110 x 100 / 50 = 220 V.
Answer
220 V.
Why not the others: '55 V' inverts the turns ratio; '160 V' adds and subtracts the turns; '11000 V' forgets to divide by the primary turns.
