The primary winding of a transformer has 400 turns and its secondary has 100 turns. If a source of e.m.f. of 12V is applied to the primary, the secondary e.m.f. will be

  • A. 3V
  • B. 6V
  • C. 24V
  • D. 48V

Correct Answer: A. 3V

Explanation

\(\frac{V_s}{V_p}\) = \(\frac{N_s}{N_p}\) = \(\frac{I_p}{I_s}\)

\(\frac{100}{400}\) = \(\frac{V_S}{12}\)

V = 3V
