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

What is the formula for K please tell me?

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.

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.

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

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

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.

N1/N2 = V1/V2.

Than putting value,

15:1 = 110:v2.

=> v2 = 110*1/15.

=> v2 = 7.33v.

We know k = n2/n1.

And here 15:1 is given,
Therefore k = 15:1.

Or n2/n1 = 15/1 = v2/v1.

So we get v2 = (n2/n1)*v1,

= (15/1)*110 = 1650v answer.

But there is no option. Therefore we go on this way,

n1:n2 = 15:1.

We get v2 = 7.333 v.

Given value N1:N2 = 15 : 1 (That is N1 = 15, N2 = 1).

Turns ratio = (N1/N2) = 15/1 (ratio > 1 ; Step down transformer).

As you said, V2/V1 = N2/N1.

V2/110v = 1/15.

V2 = 110v/15.

V2 = 7.3333... volts.

Hope this will help to clear your doubts. Have a nice day!
