How many primary volts must be applied to a transformer with a turns ratio of 0.1 to obtain a secondary voltage of 9 V?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
We know that, V2/V1 = N2/N1.
Given V2 = 9v, N2/N1 = 0.1
Therefore, 9v/V1 = 0.1
V1 = 9v/0.1 = 90v.

I agree with @Ajeet.
Turns ratio = n1/n2 but not n2/n1 it is transformation ratio.
Therefore v1/v2 = n1/n2.
v1/0.9 = 9=>v1 = 0.9v.
Turns ratio = n1/n2 but not n2/n1 it is transformation ratio.
Therefore v1/v2 = n1/n2.
v1/0.9 = 9=>v1 = 0.9v.

Turns ratio means N1/N2 not N2/N1. Thus it should be 0.9V. I am agreed with all above who got 0.9V.

Turn ratio is N1/N2= 0.1.
V2/V1 = N2/N1 = 10.
9/V1 = 10.
V1 = 9/10.
SO V1 = 0.9V.
V2/V1 = N2/N1 = 10.
9/V1 = 10.
V1 = 9/10.
SO V1 = 0.9V.

Can anybody explain turns ratio is either n2/n1 or n1/n2?

Turns ratio = (Number of turns in the hv winding)/(Number of turns in the lv winding).
For step up transformer primary winding is lv winding and secondary winding is hv and vice-versa.
For step up transformer primary winding is lv winding and secondary winding is hv and vice-versa.

Don't try to memorize it as n1/n2 or n2/n1....It may cause trouble. Get your basics right.

I am very confused what is the turn ratio & transformer ratio tell me.

Hey @Knowledge,
If Turns ratio = (Number of turns in the have winding) / (Number of turns in the lv winding).
Then how turns ratio = 0.1?
If Turns ratio = (Number of turns in the have winding) / (Number of turns in the lv winding).
Then how turns ratio = 0.1?

You are right @Ram.
The hv winding turns are always more than lv.
The hv winding turns are always more than lv.

Turns ratio = n1/n2.
Transformation ratio = n2/n1 .
So answer is 0.9v.
Transformation ratio = n2/n1 .
So answer is 0.9v.
