The primary winding of a transformer has a 120 V AC supply. What is the value of secondary voltage if the turn ratio is 20.(Hints: turn ratio =N1/N0)
Correct answer: A. 2400V
- A. 2400V
- B. 1200V
- C. 24000V
- D. 200 V
Explanation
The primary winding of the transformer has a voltage of 120 V and a turn ratio of 20. The formula to find the secondary voltage (V2) is V2 = V1 × (N2/N1), where N2/N1 is the turn ratio. Here, the turn ratio is 20, which indicates that for every 1 turn in the primary winding, there are 20 turns in the secondary winding. Thus, V2 = 120 V × 20 = 2400 V, making Option A the correct answer. The other options either miscalculate the voltage based on incorrect turn ratios or misunderstand the relationship between the primary and secondary voltages.

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
