A step-down transformer is used to light \( 12 V \) lamp from a \( 240 V \) mains supply. The lamp lights at normal brightness. The primary coil has 600 turns. How many turns are in the secondary coil?

  • A. 12
  • B. 20
  • C. 30 \)
  • D. 50

Step-by-step solution

Using the transformer turns ratio: Vp/Vs = Np/Ns => Ns = Np * Vs / Vp = 600 * 12 / 240 = 30.
