To step 110 V ac down to 20 V ac, the turns ratio must be
5.5
18
0.18
0.018
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Vp/Vs = Np/Ns

Vs = (Ns/Np)Vp

We required turns ratio i.e., (Ns/Np)

= Vs/Vp

= 20/110

= 0.181818182

[Note: p - primary; s - secondary]

For step down transfer, the turns ratio will be less than 1.

For simulation: Step-Down Transformer Circuit Simulator.

Turns ratio formula is n2/ne and the answer is 5.5.
(1)

As the t/f is step down t/f, so the secondary is 20 V & the primary is 110 V.

And according to formula:

Ns/Np=Vs/Vp.

Ns/Np=20/110.

Hence; Ns/Np=0.18.

n2/n1 = v2/v1 and i1/i2.

But here we required only n2/n1 = 20/110 = 0.18.

What is the main turns ratio? Am way to confused. Please help me. What's is the relation v2/v1 = i1/i2 = n2/n1 or what?

Dave said:   1 decade ago
The correct answer is 5.5 : 1 The turns ratio is based on the number of turns primary to secondary, the higher the voltage the more turns you have 110/20 = 5.5.

You have 5.5 turns to every 1 turn. Your voltage per turn is the same on your primary and secondary. On your primary you have more turns.

Turns ratio is N1/N2.

We know that N1/N2 = V2/V1.

N1/N2 = 20/110 = 2/11 = 0.181.

I'm confused 0.18, 5.5 I think correct answer 0.18.

Solution:

Primary voltage(V1) = 110V.
Secondary voltage(V2) = 20V.
Turns ratio(K) = N2/N1 = V2/V1.
(K) = 20/110 = 0.18.

According to IEEE, Turns ratio = high voltage turns / low voltage turns
So turn ratio = 110 / 20 = 5.5.

Can anyone correctly give the definition of Turns ratio & Transformation ratio? Is both are the same or inverse to each other? I am very much confused for this two ratios? the above solutions are very much confused. So please help me?
