If the turns ratio of a transformer is 5, the secondary voltage is greater than the primary voltage by factor _____?
If the turns ratio of a transformer is 5, the secondary voltage is greater than the primary voltage by factor _____?
Explanation
The turns ratio of a transformer is given by:
n = N₂ / N₁ = V₂ / V₁
Where:
- n is the turns ratio
- N₁ and N₂ are the number of turns in the primary and secondary coils
- V₁ and V₂ are the primary and secondary voltages
Given n = 5:
V₂ / V₁ = 5
This means the secondary voltage is greater than the primary voltage by a factor of 5.
