The input voltage is 120 V and the transformer is a step up transformer due to increase in the voltage induced in the secondary coil.

<h3>Input voltage </h3>

The input voltage of the transformer is the voltage of the primary coil and it is calculated as follows;

Ns/Np = Es/Ep

where;

Ns is the number of turn in the secondary coil
Np is the number of turn in the primary coil
Es is the secondary voltage
Ep is the primary voltage

2X/X = 240/Ep

2 = 240/Ep

Ep = 240/2

Ep = 120 V

Thus, the transformer is a step up transformer due to increase in the voltage induced in the secondary coil.
