VS/VP = TS/TP.
VS = VP*20.

VS = 12*20.
VS = 120 V.

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.

Mahmoud said:   1 decade ago
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.
