k = n1/n2 = e1/e2 = i2/i1.

Turns ratio = N1/N2 always and Transformation Ratio = N2/N1 = E2/E1 = I1/I2.

It is step down transformer from there turn ratio.

I am confused in some questions they are taking turn ratio to be N2/N1 while in others they are taking it N1/N2.

Is it necessary to consider the turns ratio primary as to secondary or secondary as to primary? Please explain.

What you guys are talking I m totally confused.

N2/N1 = V2/V1.

As per the question N2 = 1, N1 = 15 and v1 = 110.

Putting this in above formula. We can get the value of v2. i.e. 7.3 v.

Have a nice day!

When we speak of turns ratio, it means ratio of primary turns to secondary turns i.e. N1:N2.

Hello guys,

For step down transformer, turn ratio > 1.

For step down transformer, turn ratio < 1.

Here turn ratio is 15, that means greater than 1 then we can say that this is a step down transformer.

So O/P will be less than 110 volt and formula will be Np/Ns = 15/1.

N1 = 15. N2 does not = 15. N2 = 1.
