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?
9 V
90 V
900 V
0.9 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 Yogesh
Turns Ratio is N1/N2=0.1
Therefore V1=(N1/N2)*V2

We get 0.9V

Always n1/n2=Turns Ratio

I agree with farah this is incorrect
turn ratio=n1/n2=1/10
therefore
v1=0.9v

But turn ratio Np/Ns=0.1

Then,

Vp/Vs=Np/Ns
Vp/9=0.1
Vp=9

Is it correct?
