A step-down transformer has a turns ratio less than 1.
True
False
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Ns/Np is known as the turns ratio.

In step down transformer the number of turns in secondary winding (Ns) will be less than the number of turns in primary (Np).

Therefore, the ratio will be less than 1 for step down transformer.

Ex: Np = 10, Ns = 5; Turns ratio = 5/10 = 0.5.

What is the difference between turns ratio and transformation ratio?

Suresh said:   1 decade ago
Ns/Np = Transformation ratio(k),

Turn ratio = 1/k
