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.

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

E2/E1=N2/N1
N2/N1=0.1
E2=9
E1=9/0.1=90V

Turns ratio=N2/N1 not N1/N2.

I agree with Parashkthi
