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.

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.

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?
(1)

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

Why did they mention reluctance here?
