Transformation Ratio = E2/E1 = v2/v1 = N2/N1 = k.

Turn Ratio = E1/E2 = V1/v2 = N1/N2 = 1/k.

So, Turn Ratio 1/k = N1/N2 = 400/2000 = 0.2.

So , the answer should be 0.2.

Dear,

Turns ratio n = n1/n2, so answer is 0.2.

But, transformation ratio, voltage ration k = v2/v1 proportional.

Step up transformer - turns ratio less than 1.

Step down trfr - turns ratio greater than 1.

Matching transformer - turns ratio = 1.

But voltage transformation ratio is the other way step up - greater than 1, step down - less than 1.

Hope above is clear.

The answer is wrong. "Transformation ratio" and "turns ratio" are one and the same thing, the formula is N1/N2 = V1/V2 = I2/I1.

The answer is k = 400/2000 = 0.2.

Definition of the turns ratio of transformer is n1/n2 and not n2/n2.

So turns ratio is n1/n2 = 400/2000 = 1/5 = 0.2.

This answer is wrong because for step-up transformer turn ratio a<1, for step-down transformer turn ratio a>1. The turn ratio is N1/N2, answer is 0.2.

Transformer ratio = K = N2/N1.
K = 2000%400 = 5.

As we know that the transformer turn ratio N2/N1 so that 2000/400 = 5 so answer is C correct.

Even I think the answer should be 0.2 as turns ratio indicate primary to secondary turns of transformer.

So here it is 400/2000 = 0.2.

If someone feels wrong please explain clearly.

Answer is 0.2.
Turns ratio is n1/n2.
Transformation ratio is n2/n1.

Turns ratio, K = Np/Ns.
