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.

In the transformer,

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

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.

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?

V1/V2 = N1/N2.
V2 = 110/15 = 7.33.
But does it mean that the voltage across Rl=7.33?

See here the most confusing part is TURN RATIO. Which is a per my knowledge is N2/N1. As it is used in earlier question of this quiz. As per this ratio the answer is 1650. I do not know why people are saying that since the answer 1650 is not there so they are using another formula which is reverse of this.

Turns ratio(K) = N2/N1= V2/V1.
V2/110 = 1/15.

So, V2 = 1/15*110.
V2 = 110/15 = 7.33.

When the turn ratio comes its simple means secondary/primary winding.
Here turn ratio = N2/N1 = 15/1.

& VOLTAGE RATIO = 110/V2?

N1/N2 = V1/V2 OR N2/N1 = V2/V1.

=> N2/N1 = 15/1 =110/V2.

V2 = 110/15.

Hey Friends. Its provided ratio of turns NOT TURNS RATIO.

Means. TURNS RATIO = 10 i.e. N2/N1.

And ratio of turns = 10:1 means N1:N2.

Please don't get confused.

What is the formula for K please tell me?
