n1/n2 = v1/v2.
20 = 12/v2.
v2 = 12/20 = 0.6 v.

0.6 is the correct answers.

Because turns ration is (v1/v2) = (t1/t2) and it is given (t1/t2) = 20 and v1 = 12. So the answer v2 = (12/20).

v1/v2 =1/k.
12/v2 = 1/20.
v2 = 240v.

Given that N2/N1 = 20.

V1 = 12.
V2/V1 = N2/N1 = 20.

So V2 = 20*V1.
= 20*12.
= 240.

Turn ratio = T1/T2, this is always put in order input : output, which is primary : secondary.

And T1/T2 = V1/V2 = 20.

Or, 12/V2 = 20.

Hence V2 = 12/20 = 0.6 volt.

On my research:

Turn Ratio = Vpri/Vsec = Npri/Nsec.

Transformation Ratio = Vsec/Vpri.

Please verify the formula.

Yes 0.6 is the right answer because we must follow the transformation rule. That is n1/n2=v1/v2=i2/i1=k.

Than 240 is wrong answer.

We know that:

Turn ratio of transformer is define as the ratio of turns of the wire in the primary winding to the number of turns of the wire in secondary winding.

i.e Turn ratio = N1/N2.

Given: N1/N2 = 20.

Primary side voltage V1= 12 volt.

Secondary voltage V2 = ?

Hence according to voltage transformation ratio.

V2/V1 = N2/N1 = I1/I2 = K.

Or, V2/V1 = N2/N1.
Or, V2 = N2/N1*V1.

= 1/20*12.
= 0.6 volt.

Turning ratio = n2/n1 = 20 .
Primary volt = 12v.
Sec. volt = ?

n2/n1 = v2/v1.
20 = v2/12.
v2 = 240v.

Mohammad Talha Mansoor Alvi said:   1 decade ago
As N1/N2 = V2/V1.
AND Turns ratio = 20 & V1 = Primary voltage = 12.

While V2=Secondary voltage=? so above equation is used as,
20 = V2/12 &

20*12 = V2 SO V2 = 240V.
