Dear friends;

Always we take.

Turn ratio = Primary side (voltage)/Secondary side voltage.

Also it is given. Primary voltage is 110 volts.

So don't be confused.

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.

N2 / N1 = V2 / V1,

1 / 15 = V2 / 110,

0.0666666667 - 110 = V2,

V2 = 7.3 V.

Please tell me, what is the actual turns ratio?

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

n2/n1 or n1/n2.

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

Why did they mention reluctance here?

K=V1/V2=N1/N2
110/V2=15/1
110/15=V2
V2=7.33

Imran said:   1 decade ago
V2/V1=N2/N1
V2/110=15/1
V2=1650

What is the problem with this ?

@Imran

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!
