The primary of a transformer has 100 turns and its secondary has 200 turns. If the voltage at the primary is 100V, determine the voltage at the secondary.
A. 50V B. 100V C. 200V D. 400V
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
The ideal transformer (either step-up or step-down) works with the equation: where and are the voltages applied to the secondary and the primary respectively and are the number of turns on the secondary and primary coils respectively and are the currents flowing in the primary and secondary coils respectively.
