To make transformer power is constant the current increases with decreasing the voltage for step down transformers. And it is decreases with increasing the voltage for step up transformers.

Voltage and current are inversely propotional for transformer.

Ans:- (B).

Because 'V' is directly proportional to 'i'.

Where 'V' is voltage & 'i' is current flow in ckt.

V1/V2= I2/I1

But V2=.025V1

Vi/0.25Vi= I2/I1
4=I2/I1

4I1= I2

Suppose the pri.voltage(V1)=100 V
i.e the sec.voltage(V2)=(1/4)*pri.voltage(V1)
=(1/4)*100 =25 V
Actually we know the formula as,
V2/V1=N2/N1=I1/I2=K
i.e Turns ratio(K)=V2/V1=25/100=1/4=0.25
so, I1/I2=K=1/4
or, I2=4*I1 =4*Primary current
i.e sec. current equal to four times the pri. current
i.e we

Mangala Prasad Vasu is wrong. In transformer ckt, the current is inversely proportional to the voltage. Because this is an inductive circuit & we all know that in inductive circuit current lags the voltage.
Only for that reason if the primary voltage of the transformer is 4 times the secondary voltage, the secondary current will be 4 times the primary current.

Given that V2=(1/4)V1

we know that V2/V1=I1/I2
therefore I1/I2=1/4

So I2=*I1

In transformer power is maintained constant i.e., v*i product should be same. , as we increases for n times I decreases for n times vice-versa.

Thanks Aniket.

E2/E1=I1/I2
(1/4)E1/E1=I1/I2
I2=4I1
