V1/V2 = N1/N2.

Turns ratio=20 i.e. N2/N1 = 20.

Primary voltage = 12 Volt.

So, Secondary voltage V2 = V1*N2/N1.

= 12*20.

= 240 Volt.

Turns ratio a = v1/v2 = e1/e2 = t1/t2.

where a = 20, v1 = 12.
Substitute the value
20 = 12/v2.

Then, v2 = 12/20 = 0.6v => Answer.

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.

n2/n1 = v2/v1.

So n2/n1 is given = 20.

Primary voltage is given = 12v.

Here,
n2/n1 = v2/v1.

20 = v2/12.

v2 = 20*12.

v2 = 240.

12*20=240v
secondary voltage = number of turns ratio * voltage in primary
secondary voltage = 12*20
secondary voltage = 240 volts

n2/n1 = v2/v1.
So n2/n1 is given = 20.

Primary voltage is given = 12v.

Here,

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

v2 = 20*12.
v2 = 240.

Here we have given turn ratio k=n2/n1=20.
primary voltage v1=12v.
secondary voltage v2=?
v2/v1=n2/n1
v2=(n2/n1)v1
v2=20*12=240v

V2/V1 = K;

So V2/12 = 20 then V2 = 240 (answer) where v2 is secondary voltage, v1 is primary voltage, k is transformer ratio.

On my research:

Turn Ratio = Vpri/Vsec = Npri/Nsec.

Transformation Ratio = Vsec/Vpri.

Please verify the formula.

We know that k = v2/v1.

Here v1 = primary voltage = 12.

Turns ratio k = 20.

So 20 = v2/12 i.e., v2 = 240v.
