In the transformer,

The Turns ratio means N1/N2.
And transformation ratio Means = N2/N1 = k.
So, that N1/N2 = 1/15.

Given Data:

1. Primary Voltage: 110V.
2. Turns ratio: 15:1 (15=Primary turns, 1=Secondary Turns).

V1/V2 = N1/N2.
110/V2 = 15/1.
110*1/ 15 = V2.
Hence V2 = 7.3V across transformer secondary winding.

Now, load is of 120Ohm connected across the secondary winding.

So, the load will face the same secondary voltage.

It is so simple just use formula.

N1/N2=V1/V2.
then
put values
15/1=110/V2 (finding value of V2 we can write V2).
so on.
15= 110/V2 then cross multiplying.
V2=110/15,
V2=7.3v.

Why did they mention reluctance here?

v2=RL-v1/turn ratio*1/1,
v2=120-110/15*1/1,
v2=7.3 Answer.

Here, Turns ratio with Primary is 15:1, So, I take it as N1=15, N2=1.

Normally, Turns ratio formula will be N2/N1.Some times it change accordingly with the question.

v1/v2 = n1/n2
110/v2 = 15/1
v2 = 110/15
v2 = 7.3V(Step down Xr).

But why they gave load resistance value?

What's the correct formula for turns ratio of transformer?

n2/n1 or n1/n2.

Please tell me, what is the actual turns ratio?

Er Sahal said:   9 years ago
N2 / N1 = V2 / V1,

1 / 15 = V2 / 110,

0.0666666667 - 110 = V2,

V2 = 7.3 V.

Ns : Np = 15 : 1.

So, Ns = 1 ; Np = 15.
Vp = 110.

Here the relation is Ns / Np = Vs / Vp.

Substituting the values, we get:
Vs = 7.3V.
