Primary coil of a step-up transformer has number of turns than secondary coil.

Primary coil of a step-up transformer has number of turns than secondary coil.

  • A. more
  • B. less
  • C. same
  • D. cant say

Step-by-step solution

In a step-up transformer, the secondary voltage is higher than the primary voltage. According to the transformer equation Vp/Vs = Np/Ns, for Vs > Vp, we have Np < Ns, meaning the primary coil has fewer turns than the secondary coil.
