Given data

turn ratio k=20

primary voltage v1=12v.

according to the formula

v2/v1= k
=> v2/12v= 20
=> v2= 20*12v
=240v


hence the secondary current is 240v.

AM I RIGHT?

Some are saying that 0.6 is the right answer, But it's wrong. the right answer is 240.

E2/E1 = V2/V1 = N2/N1 = K.
N2/N1 = 20.

V1 = 12.
So, 20 = V2/V1.

20 = V2/12.
20*12 = V2.
V2 = 240.

K = E2/E1 = V2/V1 = R2/R1 = I1/I2.

SO, K = SECONDARY VOLTAGE VALUE/PRIMARY VOLTAGE VALUE.

K = V2/V1.
Given data:
K = 20.
V1 = 12 VOLTS.
V2 = ?

K = V2/V1.
20 = V2/12.

V2 = 20*12 = 240A.

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.

Turns ratio (N2/N1) = 20 [or] N2/N1 = 20/1

N2 = 20
N1 = 1

V1 = 12V
V2 = ?

Formula: V1/V2 = N1/N2 [or] V2/V1 = N2/N1

Therefore, V2 = V1. (N2/N1)

V2 = 12 x (20) = 240v.

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.

Turn = N.

Given, Turn Ratio=N2/N1=20 and Primary voltage=V1=12V.
Secondary voltage=V2=?

According to formula, N2/N1 = V1/V2.
V2 = (N2/N1)V1.
= 20*12.
= 240V.

Here the given data
N1=20 V1= 12
N2/N1=V2/V1

V2?= n1*vi=20*12=240
N2 ?= n1*v2/n1 =20*240/12=400

Secondary voltage = 240 volts
Secondary turn= = 400t

Actually turn ratio of transformer is given by n1/n2.

Therefore if turn ratio is 20 then the answer is 12/20. There is some mistake in the question.

DEEPAK said:   1 decade ago
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).
