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

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?

@sundar.

In above ques. It is not mentioned that it is a step down or step up.

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

n2/n1 or n1/n2.

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

1 / 15 = V2 / 110,

0.0666666667 - 110 = V2,

V2 = 7.3 V.

Hi guys first tell me the correct formula for step up & down transformer.

PRAVEEN KUMAR said:   1 decade ago
Turns ratio = N1/N2 always and Transformation Ratio = N2/N1 = E2/E1 = I1/I2.

Is there any difference between turns ratio and transformation ratio?

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