Question

I wish to use a step up transformer to turn an initial RMS AC voltage of 100 V into a final RMS AC voltage of 200 V. What is the ratio of the number of turns in the primary to the secondary

Answer 1

Answer:

1:2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial RMS AC voltage is 100 V and final RMS AC voltage is 200 V.

We need to find the ratio of the number of turns in the primary to the secondary  for step up transformer.

For a transformer, $\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{N_1}{N_2}$

So,

$\dfrac{N_1}{N_2}=\dfrac{100}{200}\\\\\dfrac{N_1}{N_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

So, the ratio of the number of turns in the primary to the secondary is 1:2.
